what are premium fragrance oils?

The Premium Grade fragrance oils are primarily used by customers to scent products such as melt and pour soap, cold processed soaps, candle waxes, incense sticks and cones and toiletry bases. Premium grade oils can be used in aroma burners. The premium grade of fragrance is an enhanced formula to provide additional concentration of the top note while sustaining the middle and base notes in fragrance oils. We have received numerous compliments from customers who have experienced superior results when using the premium grade. This premium grade requires less oil to be used when scenting soaps, waxes and lotions while providing superior aroma qualities.  Premium grade oils are suggested for use with Soy wax as the cold and hot throw are superior. 

what's the difference between candle oil and fragrance oils?

When you buy a fragrance for use in candles, that fragrance doesn't have to fall under RIFM (Research Institute for Fragrance Material) guidelines for safe ingredient usage. Basically, there are about 3500 RIFM approved ingredients that can be put in a fragrance oil blend. RIFM evaluates individual components for safety (checking for things as obvious as irritation to other issues, like birth defects and possibility of cancer causing ingredients). Candle fragrances do not have to be approved for use on skin - thus, they may (but do not necessarily) contain non-skin safe ingredients. Also, candle fragrances do not have to be manufacturered with such stringent guidelines and conditions, so that's another thing to keep in mind.

Fragrance oils for soap need to be considered safe for use in all toiletry products, not just soap. They may work in candles, but may not so always double check with your supplier before trying them out in your candle. It could be something as innocuous as bad throw but it's always a good idea to double check. Fragrance oils for soap fall under serious guidelines, both for ingredient purity and manufacturing. They should all be RIFM approved for use in skin products
