EllyM Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Maybe it's just me but I really like quite a few oils from NG for soaps but don't have much luck with the candles. Anybody else? I use mainly for tarts and use PB soy and sometimes even blend with other soys. Still can't get a really good throw like I do with CS. CS seems to be the best for candles.

dcroome2005 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 This is actually one of my main suppliers .. I dont use soy so that may make a difference. I have yet to find a bad fo from them that doesnt throw awesome .. CS is awesome too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllyM Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi dcroome2005. I know I love NG. Do you make tarts and use a straight parrafin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I get a lot of FO's from them, and they do fine with my straight pariffin. I have had maybe 3 that simply didn't work for me, but some misses are expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzyK Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 All of my scents are from Nature's Garden. I get great results with their fragrance oils. I use a blend of ecosoya pb and xcel. My customers love my wax melts. I have had a few that weren't as strong as I liked so I don't use those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllyM Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 How much oil pp is everyone using...I have only used 1oz pp maybe I need more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I haven't found too many of their FO's over the years that are strong enough for me or my testers. I refuse to buy any FO that I have to use more than 1 oz./lb. to get a good throw!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I use alot of their oils in both palm wax candles and soy blend tarts (and warmer oils) and am quite pleased with them. I can't really think of any off the top of my head that didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllyM Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi Wessex,are you using 1 oz per pound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessex Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I use a 6% FO load in my candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlancaD Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Hi..I use 1.5 oz FO to 16 oz soywax(415)...I get excellent hot and cold throw with NG's fragrances Hope this advice helps Edited February 21, 2012 by BlancaD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I used to be an avid NG user in the early years...until I started trying oils from other suppliers. I think once you get a taste for oils that are stronger it's hard to go back to ones that now seem weak in comparison. Now don't get me wrong, NG still has a few good ones out there that I still use -- but I went from using them solely to only carrying about a dozen or so of their oils. Their quality just doesn't seem as good as it once was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcdelong Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hillbilly Home brew, Amish Friendship Bread and Christmas Splendor are a few of my favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllyM Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks all for the info...I will say Angel type is superb. Hillbilly homebrew just didn't do it for me and I really liked that oob and ct. CS is still on the top of my list for quite a few oils but NG does have some great ones for soaping.

Luci Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm burning Apple Jack & Peel from there and love it. And I adore Pumpkin Crunch Cake in wax as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I found NG's FO's to do very well. One of my favorites is Cracklin Birch. That is a great FO. Very unique and well liked by my customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
