When making a soy candle, can you use strained juice from a citrus fruit for scent?

Question

Would that work?

Answer 1

You really want to use a fragrance oil or essential oil instead - strained fruit juice will possibly prevent the candle from setting, and it will probably mold.

I've ordered quite a bit from this company:
http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com

They have excellent products, their people are incredibly knowledgeable, they sponsor a yahoo group which is very active and provides excellent information for beginners, and the website itself has great recipes.

I'm not into candlemaking, but I do make soap, and used to be a member of WSSP's yahoo group, so I've read a lot of posts from candle makers. If you want to make candles safely, join this group. ;O)
