About Peter Loedden Expertise Since I passionately believe in beeswax candles and there is precious little info out there it took me about two years of research and trial and error to arrive at a reasonable level of craftsmanship which I would like to share with budding beeswaxers. No soap questions please
My expertise is in poured beeswax, don`t ask me about "rolled" beeswax candles or paraffin candles.
Experience Two years of research, and now run a successful beeswax candle making business.
Question I am wondering what essential oils are made from and if candle scents can be homemade. Thanks
Answer Tom,
I am no expert on essential oils, but I understand it is quite a process involving boiling, distilling, etc. And you need LOTS of flower petals to get a few drops, that's why the stuff is not too cheap. I see no reason why one could not make essential oils at home. You may have to invest in some equipment though. For info on how to make essential oils, you have to keep on searching, I can not help you on that.
Good Luck.
