LCL Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hi I was thinking sinus tarts actually with essential oils, would this be a good idea I have a few pounds of straight soy wax, any ideas on the scent blend. Or would you rather do them with a fragrance oil.I tried orange with a touch of patchouli, eo I think it was nice, I was thinking maybe lavender with a touch of tangerine, also for a more relaxiong blend, and of course a nice sinus blend. a bit of lavender, with peppermint I don`t know if menthol crystals would work. or eucaliptus oil, that I don`t have on hand, but I have spearmint, peppermint, and lavender. I do think I would need the eucaliptus, Thanks for your help I am scenting at 7 % is this o.k with essential oilsthe orange patchouli is very nice, I think Loretta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Eucalyptus essential oil is the one you need for the sinus candle. Some people even add a little Vicks vapor rub to them to also get the camphor scent. Since Vicks is made up of mostly petroleum (like paraffin is) it blends fine with the wax. Do a search for sinus candles in the general candles or vegetable candles area and you will find more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissyK Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I just poured NG's Sinus Relief yesterday and it smells really strong. My mom loves these candles. She says they really do help her. She loved Avalanche from AH/RE but my sample ran out and I'm not ordering just one FO. So I found a NG sample in my boxes of samples and tried it out. I'm going to let her test it!Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerina Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 But if you had a lot of those crystals laying around... could you use them in a tart? ~curious~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
