Fragrance Oil and Essential Oil FAQ

How much fragrance should you add to wax?

We recommend using 1 1/2 ounces (also known as 3 tablespoons) of fragrance oil per pound of wax. We have found this to be a great ratio of fragrance to wax. You can go up or down from there depending on the fragrance load that your wax can hold. To find discover, for example, what a 6% fragrance load of 2 pounds would be, look at our measurements chart.

How much essential oil should you add to wax?

We recommend using essential oil by the drop. The recommended amount is no more that ½ ounce (also known as 1 Tablespoon) per pound of wax.

Are your fragrance oils diluted or “cut”?

No, our fragrance oil is 100% concentrated fragrance oil. They are not diluted or “cut” in any way.

Are you fragrance oils strong?

All of our fragrance oils are extremely concentrated. They have been tested, and we have found them to meet our high quality standards for fragrance oil. The word “strong” is an arbitrary term. Scents are subjective to each individual. Everyone’s scent palate smells differently. For example, the cinnamon fragrance oil to one person could give them a migraine, while another person cannot smell it at all.

Which is better Essential Oil (E/O) or Frangrance Oil (F/O)?

Essential oil and fragrance oil are not necessarily better than each other. It all depends on personal preference. Some people prefer essential oils because they are derived from natural elements and can be used for certain remedial applications, whereas others prefer fragrance oils because they are synthetic and offer a wider array scents.

Why are some of my bottles of fragrance oils and essential oils fuller than others?

Our fragrance oil and essential oil are sold by weight, not volume. Therefore, some bottles will appear fuller than others.
