Understanding Peppermint Product Types

You've observed different forms of Peppermint products, such as Flavor, Oil, and Water. These variations are designed for different applications:

• Peppermint Flavor (ละลายน้ำมัน): Despite the name "Flavor," the description for this product indicates it is oil-soluble and can be used to impart fragrance in various products, including those where you want a perfume-like scent. Because it is oil-soluble, it can mix well with the waxes used in candles.
• Peppermint Oil: This generally refers to concentrated essential oil extracted from the peppermint plant or a fragrance oil designed to mimic the scent. Concentrated oils are the standard choice for adding scent to candles because they are oil-based and provide a strong aroma when heated. While a product specifically named "Peppermint Oil" wasn't detailed in the search results, the concept of using a concentrated oil is relevant.
• Peppermint Water: Also known as Peppermint Hydrosol, this is the water collected during the steam distillation of peppermint leaves. It contains some volatile aromatic compounds but is primarily water. It is typically used in water-based cosmetic applications like toners or sprays.
• OralCap™ Peppermint: This is a finished product, an encapsulated form of peppermint oil in a softgel, designed for oral consumption or snacks. It contains peppermint oil but is not a raw material for making formulations like candles.

Which is Suitable for Scented Candles?

For making scented candles, you need an ingredient that is oil-soluble and provides a strong, stable aroma when heated in wax.

• Peppermint Flavor (ละลายน้ำมัน) is suitable because its description confirms it is oil-soluble and can be used as a fragrance in oil-based products.
• Concentrated Peppermint Oil (essential oil or fragrance oil) is also suitable and is the traditional ingredient for candle making due to its potency and oil solubility.
• Peppermint Water is not suitable for making scented candles because it is water-based and will not properly mix with candle wax, potentially causing issues with burning and scent throw.
• OralCap™ Peppermint is a finished product and not a raw ingredient for candle making.

Therefore, among the products you mentioned and those found, Peppermint Flavor (ละลายน้ำมัน) is suitable for making scented candles due to its oil solubility and use as a fragrance. If a product specifically labeled as "Peppermint Oil" (for fragrance/candle use) were available, that would also be suitable.
