cryptic Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Quick Questions:1) I did a search and became confused after reading on one thread that essential oils were more expensive than fragrance oils, and on another thread read that the reverse is true. Which is the more expensive oil?2) On another note, is fragrance oil the better oil to use with soy wax candles?3) Also, anyone know of any suppliers that create fragrance oils made out of soy?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 1. Fragrance oils are generally synthetic, made for candle and B&B applications and less expensive, also, a lot more variety. Essential oils are natural oils distilled or pressed or whatev from the actual plants, have many great uses-aromatherapy, medicinal/household/perfume ect... and are MUCH more expensive, for concentration quality. 2. Totally preference. Essentials don't have as long of a shelf life in a candle tho. 3. Yes, there are some soy based fragrance oils out there. Although, I'm not sure what that really means. www.candlesoylutions.com is one source I can think of off the top of my head. Also a co. called Northstar, I think.
