Essential Oils

Essential Oils are naturally derived from plants and have a multitude of uses.  They are a wonderful way to add fragrance to your home made candles, soap and other skin care items.  Essential oils have been used in Aromatherapy for centuries and are widely known for having healing properties.  These oils are highly concentrated.  1 oz of essential oil will scent approximately 8 pounds of wax or soap.
