FAQ - Wholesale Sites -

Answer: If you order online you are likely to receive your order sooner. (The minimum order is also lower for online orders).

Online orders go straight through to our despatch warehouse for instant picking (the majority are picked the same day). There is also much less chance of errors when ordering online, as you can double check the order on-screen before paying.

On the home page of our site we state the current delivery status. e.g orders placed online before 11.45am will be despatched the same day. Please check this before ordering.

Our online ordering system automatically sends a confirmation of the order and payment. You will also receive an email confirming the order has been despatched, by what method and the courier tracking number.

A phone order and payment over the phone has to be manually processed by our office and therefore delays may occur during busy periods.

Alll the essential oils we stock are suitable for candlemaking.

With regard to our range of synthetic fragrances this is a little more complex.

The reason we have 2 types of fragrance is purely because you cannot actually have a single fragrance that is suitable for use for everything.  Wouldn't life be simple if you could?

We stock some "standard" fragrances - These are for use in any aqueous product. So, Melt N pour soap, Aqueous base products like bath foams, shampoos, creams etc

We also stock a small section of Candle Grade Fragrances - for use in products with oil present. ie veg oil, candles, emulsion, oil based butters,creams, cold process soap etc. The are listed in the candle OK category.

Note: You can still use the candle grade fragrance in Melt N Pour soap if you wish or base products like shampoos, but there is often a clarity issue and therefore the need to use a solubliser aswell.  

Bath bombs - you can use either because there are no clarity or solubility issues with these.

So if you look at the fragrances we have on offer and simply avoid those listed in the "candle grade category" if clarity is an issue for water based products.

Please Note: There are also guidlines regarding safe inclusion limits which need to be taken into account also. This is too complex and varied to cover at this point.
