frequently asked
What does "100% pure" actually mean?
"100% pure" means the oil comes from a single, natural botanical source and has nothing added, with no fillers, dilutions, or synthetic substitutes. It's worth noting that "pure" refers to what's in the bottle, whereas "organic" refers to how the plant was grown.
What's the difference between an essential oil and a fragrance oil?
An essential oil is extracted directly from a plant, while a fragrance oil is a crafted scent blend that can capture aromas nature cannot, such as "vanilla latte" or "fresh linen." For candle making, fragrance oils are generally preferred, as they are formulated to provide a stronger, more consistent, and safe candle.
Can I use it in candles?
Essential oils can be used in candles, but they often have a weaker scent throw, are sensitive to heat, and some are not safe to burn. Our fragrance oils are specifically formulated for wax, offering a reliable, consistent result. We always recommend testing a small batch first.
How do I blend oils that smell good together?
A helpful approach is to think in terms of notes: top notes (such as citrus), middle notes (florals and spices), and base notes (such as vanilla and musk). A balanced blend includes a little of each. We recommend starting with two or three scents, testing in small batches, and keeping a record of your ratios. If you would prefer a ready made option, our blended oils collection offers expertly paired scents designed to perform beautifully in candles.
