Essential oils come from plants. They are natural. Fragrance oils are lab created and are not natural. Make sure you are buying from a reputable organic plant based company if thats what youre looking for. Plant Therapy is one I use. For anyone confused 😊
Hey Hannah, thank you very much for all your videos! They are very informative and actually made me switch from fragrance to essential oils. I haven't started yet, but couldn't find many videos about the use of essential oils in soy candles. I'm still testing things out too
I've been getting into this for a few years now. With all the craziness, I think it's time to do this. You're like the only person really being honest with the levels of Toxicity people are fine with. I see also, Natural Wax, I may have to do that too. Thank you for your video. I'm also BiddyTVnetworks .
How dangerous are essential oils to make/add in candles? I see so many reviews about how it can be dangerous. I prefer essential oils so if you can make a video in depth into the actual making with the brand you chose would appreciate it!!
This is an old question but I figure someone else may ask this. First, I'll point everyone to a fantastic video on this subject by Armatage Candle Company called Essential Oils vs Fragrance Oils. The short of it though is that essential oils are not dangerous for use in candles in their own right per se. By that I mean as a whole they don't do anything like flare up & cause a house fire or cause the wax to splash while using. There are issues with certain individual oils (like Tea Tree being extremely toxic to dogs), and there are at LOT of shady/sub-par oils sold, but essential oils being organic (or supposed to be), will degrade and break down over time. That will cause all kinds of weirdness such as changing their scents, usually for the worse. Some of those chemicals they break down into can also be slightly bad for people over repeated usage when burned but nothing drastic. Depending on how much was used, it can also alter the structure of a solid candle over time as it breaks down so a large pillar candle may lose its strength. Which theoretically could cause it to fall while lit but I've never heard of that kind of structural issue short of absurd amounts of oils added.

essential oils don't give candles a high scent throw from my experience. if you want good scents, use fragrance oils. soy wax also doesn't have a high scent throw, so it's important to do some research and pick the right candle wax, fragrance oils/essential oils, wicks, etc. it all matters!
TIPS claimed... yet whole video is you centered talking a lot without saying much. This isn't tips... it's parrot repeating what you learned from others.
Thank you for this video hannah! Your videos really help me in my new hobby x

Great video and really well researched! Thanks so much!
Thank you for the tips how can I get the amount of wax to the amount of essential oil if I want to make candles
Great video. I wish we has a comparable store in the States to Candle Shack
Hey, I understand if you don't want to share but what percentage of oil to wax do you prefer? 💜
I finally found perfect video For my diy essential candle 😍
Helpful tips! Thanks a lot
Fab video. Agree, don’t mass buy essential oils 🙃
Thank you 😊
Can you use aromatherapy essential oil? Or does it have to be 100% essential oil non-aromatherapy?
Is the calculation for fragrance for essential oils or fragrance oils?
What brands of essential oils have you been researching, were they all pure essential oils?
