Craftedinthewoods Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I've posted this already in the natural wax threads, but it was suggested I try it here...I'm wondering if anyone has ever heard of essential oils not actually binding (bonding?) with wax in a candle so when the candle is burned the eo actually burns off before the wax, therefore not having a scented candle all through the life of said candle?I've heard this from a candle maker and can't find any chemistry type info to support this or not. I'm thinking about adding a few EO candles to my line, but maybe it won't be worth the time & effort of testing... and I've heard from others that eo are expensive so will up cost of candle and may not sell anyway.Anyone who is successful with eo candles, it would be great to hear from you.I really have had only 2 customers ask for this over the last 7 months of doing craft shows and hitting the wholesale market in shops... so who knows??? But I've got the thought in my head now and I'm curious about the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
