diffuser oil use in candles?


Recommended Posts

Recently I received several Partylite gift certificates, which are of little to no use to me, since my wife and I have began making our own soy wax candles.

We are new to the art of soy wax and are wondering if we could use these partylite certificates to purchase supplies for use in our own candle construction. (we have been making fiesta ware container candles)

we enjoy several of their scents, and they sell their "essential oils" in reed diffuser format.

Can this oil be used to scent soy wax candles?

can it be tempered at a higher temp to induce proper mixing?

if not.....

Is there anything else from partylite that people have successfully recycled into their own products?

thanks,

Andre

A couple of potential issues with doing this that I see;

1. Most of the time diffuser oils are actually FO or EO blended with other types of chemicals, for example DPG to extend them and enable them to be used in that specific type application.

2. Even if you could use them...are you going to continue buying them from Partylite in order to replicate? That could be very expensive.

3. I have never heard of tempering FO or EO? You can temper wax...

If it were me I would sell the gift certficates on Ebay and buy "real" supplies!
