Question: how much essential oil do you need for a candle?
Answer: Depending on how strong your oil is, you can use up to one ounce of essential oil (about 1.5 teaspoons) per pound of wax. However, pure essential oils offer a stronger scent than synthetic fragrance oils, it's best to start off with 1/4 to 1/2 ounce per pound of soy wax.
