The amount of essential oil you should use for candles typically depends on the total weight of the wax you are using. A common guideline is:<\/p>
For a strong scent: Use about 1 ounce of essential oil per pound (16 ounces) of wax. This is approximately 6% fragrance load.
For a moderate scent: Use about 0.5 ounces of essential oil per pound of wax. This is approximately 3% fragrance load.<\/p>
Example Calculations<\/p>
1 pound of wax:<\/p>
Strong scent: 1 oz of essential oil
Moderate scent: 0.5 oz of essential oil<\/p>
2 pounds of wax:<\/p>
Strong scent: 2 oz of essential oil
Moderate scent: 1 oz of essential oil<\/p>
Tips<\/p>
Always test your candles with different amounts to find the best scent strength for you.<\/p>
Be aware that some essential oils are stronger than others, so adjust accordingly.<\/p>
Ensure the essential oils are suitable for candle making, as some may not hold up well when burned.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
