Soy Candles

Fragrance oils are generally very complex.  They are a mixture of aroma chemicals and can contain hundreds of them.  They are undiluted.  They can be part artificial and part synthetic or all synthetic.  Fragrance oils are not perfume oils.  Never take them internally or place them directly on the skin.  They need to be diluted into your final product.  

Fragrance oils that are synthetically or man-made, give to aromatherapy only their fragrance property.  Use these kinds for crafting, incense, bath and body products.  Synthetic fragrance oils are beneficial for their aroma.  They can help promote peace of mind and alleviate a down mood.  When it comes to the pocket book, they are much more affordable than essential oils.

Some however, are not synthetic.  They are a blend of essential oils cut with a carrier oil.  These fragrance oils are diluted too much and don’t have a strong enough scent to be used for crafting purposes.  They are good for use on the skin, on the hair or in candles.

Fragrance oils used in making soaps need to be purchased from a company that sells these oils just for soap making.  They will sell scents formulated in accordance with certain standards that are safe for use in bath and body products.  Be sure not to use fragrances meant for candles or potpourri in your soaps.  They will be to irritating for your skin. 

Whatever the purpose you choose to use fragrance oils, they can be found in many scents.  You can combine scents to create your own fragrant blend.  When used in a lamp ring they bring to your home a delightful aroma.  With the holidays just around the corner why not spruce up your home with some favorite holiday scents like Bayberry, Dickens Christmas, Eggnog, Hollyberry, Noel, Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Holy Night, Pumpkin Spice, Spiced Cranberry, Victorian Christmas, and Yuletide Memories.  Happy Holidays!
