My Favorite Essential Oil Books for Candle and Soap Making

Thursday October 2, 2008
OilsThough there are hundreds and hundreds of superb fragrance oils out there - (I just tried a couple of yummy new ones from Bramble Berry and Backwoods Fragrance and Supply) - I hope you will all try making soap and/or candles with some pure essential oils at some time. Yes - they can be a bit more expensive, and a bit intimidating at first - but creating your own custom blends with essential oils can really be almost as rewarding as making your own candles and soap in the first place! To get you started on your scent-ual journey, here are my favorite books on Essential Oils, their uses, their properties, and more. For those of you experienced essential oil blenders, share your favorite essential oil blend with us in the "What's Your Favorite Essential Oil Blend? Reader's Choice Section" at the bottom of the list.
Also check out How to Blend Fragrance and Essential Oils for some tips on how to do it.
