Dip the bottom of your wicks in your oil / butters mix & it will hold your wicks in place. Can also use plain melted cocoa butter for this. Makes life easier 🙂

Your realism is a breath of fresh air 🥰

Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for. My corn allergy has randomly gotten worse and I'm scared I may start reacting to topicals which are very hard to easily locate/find w/o any kind of corn product or ingredients that contain corn/has corn in the growing process. This was so thorough and I really appreciate that you've shared this info with us. The pen idea is so massively brilliant! I wouldn't have thought of that and since I'm an art supply hoarder I have a ton of excess that could use new jobs. Will be lurking more of your content.

I loved following along with your recipe, especially in terms of measurements. It'll be really helpful as I test different mixtures for my massage candles!

This is so awesome. I can't wait to try this. Just after the apricot oil and just before the lotus extract you added about an ounce and a half of something but I couldn't tell if it was another extract or a different oil? Thank you so much for posting this video.

This is so cool. Never heard of it before. Interesting concept...dual purpose. Wow! Who knew? How do you think up all these things? Thank you for sharing!

I love making lotion candles, too. I always get the urge to do so in the springtime. I have a question... Ever tried a lotion candle/mp soap hybrid? Not sure if some butters could be substituted with MP soap, but wouldn't it be awesome to enjoy a relaxing bath with a nice aromatic candle, then blow it out and use all that warm wax as a moisturizing body wash, too? Would that be possible? I suspect it might make a mess of the bathtub, but I really like the idea of it otherwise! Unless there's a safety issue with it, that seems like a fun experiment.

Hi, thank you! What soy wax did you use, is there a general skin safe one? And would coconut wax work?

Thank you so much for this video.. Could you pls do a video if I had to use coconut wax instead of soy wax?

What is the proper percentage of ingredients for a coconut wax, buriti oil and shea butter candle?

Had a question.....I noticed you added 1.38 oz of something before the lotus extract. What was this ingredient? I'd like to test this formulation this weekend as I love massage / lotion candles.

Sorry, maybe I missed it, but what did you add after the apricot oil right before the lotus extract?

Do you know approximately how many ml of essential oils you need for a batch the size you made to get the 5% ratio also is there a recipe list of ingredients and ratios

Would you suggest coconut oil instead of a liquid liquid oil

Can you add essential oils to the candles?

wow! never knew this existed!

May you share the type of wick you use with this blend

Hi! I don’t know if you mentioned the wax you used, but if not can you share the name of the wax used? Thank you 🙏

Kindly identify what you poured at 1.38 oz from what looked like a Nature's Garden bottle. T.I.A. Great tutorial video - thanks

@MrsSoapAndClay

Hey! All the wick companies seem to have their own number system, so I don’t know if I can be much help. The wicks I use are from lone star, and for these ones I use their ECO-4, which is the recommended wick size for containers 2-2.5” in diameter. This container is right at 2.5, and since it’s a lotion candle the burn temp is much lower than a regular candle, so I don’t need to size up to the ECO-6 to get a full melting pool. Hope that helps!

Very cool, would it work as a wax melt? Thank you

Could you use jojoba wax instead of candillila wax? Or is it too hard of a wax?

@MrsSoapAndClay

4 жыл бұрын

It could work - has a low melting point which would counteract the hardness. I’d likely do a 50/50 split with jojoba and candelilla or beeswax though as too much jojoba can be a bit drying.

@@MrsSoapAndClay I have tons of beeswax so that works great! Would I need to adjust anything else to counteract the hardness of the beeswax?

This is probably a monumentally stupid question, and I promise it's not my first and definitely won't be my last, but here goes. Would there be any either benefit or detriment to adding Hyaluronic Acid syrum or Collagen to the mix? Thanks!

@MrsSoapAndClay

2 жыл бұрын

Hi! No such thing as stupid questions. This is actually a great question, as HA and collagen are great additives to skincare and are both frequently found in high end products. The problem with both in these however boils down to heat. These are two very unstable compounds at temperatures higher than body temperature, really, which makes them difficult to incorporate into a lotion candle. I would play with including these compounds in a face oil or the like to ensure no benefit degradation. Have fun!
