Monica, you want good quality fragrance oils provided by someone who cares about what they sell. And yes they are expensive..I buy my oils from only a select few companies..

A few you can look at to get ideas of "proper" expected pricing, and they certainly have top notch well created oils...

Can anyone tell me do you have to use a certain type of rock crystal? Can you use epson salt & can it be used in a electric or tealight melter? I have been wanting to make these and Im not sure what to use for the rocks. I have been making soy candles and many other products and would like to add these to my product line.
Thanks in advance :)
Merry CHRISTmas everyone

Very kind words, Barb. Thank you, and you're welcome. There is a lot of personal satisfaction to be gained by helping others, so I feel like it's a total win-win situation. A very generous woman helped us a ton when we were starting to grow, and now it seems it's our turn to "pay it forward". As far as the soil goes, I think we got it at Lowe's... LOL. Patio Plus, probably, with a few minor amendments. But you are right about one thing... California has some good stuff! Thanks again for the sweet comments. Eric

I don't know, but I have read at places that sell the glass, that you need the correct burner. That doesn't mean they just want to sell a burner, it might be required to be safe. Woodland direct, for instance says their glass should be used "only when using vent-free approved burner system". Call them (by "them" I mean anyone that sells the glass) and ask if you can use it with the burner that you have, that you are not interested in replacing the burner. Since I am sure they would rather sell just the glass than nothing at all, if they don't recommend using it unless you replace the burner, then you probably have your answer. You could also visit a local fireplace dealer and ask.

I don't know about Epsom salts. I use coarse-grain Dead Sea salt. (I got a jar at AC Moore.) That worked pretty well. I sprayed it with a 50/50 mix of DPG and essential oil.
