Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hello All & Happy '08! What do you all think about NP candles? I've never tried it...anyone want to share any stories??? I was thinking of simply adding maybe 40 drops of essence to melted beeswax, mixing and pouring into like a 3 " X6 " pillar size mold??? I LOVE candles...but can't really stand synths anymore. What I'm scared of is not being able to smell it...maybe I should just do a votive with an oil heating dish instead???

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Subject: Re: NP Candles > > > > > OK, I need to ask, what's an NP candle? Hi Edge, Regarding this inquiry on a NP candle. Essential oils are often used in candles. Only that which is not soluable in water is going to blend with some candle mediums. (i.e. parafin, will not bind with a water soluable product such as a tincture, alcohol,etc) Not all Essential oils burn in a candle, they will clog the wick whether it's soy or other vegtable based medium for candle fuel. (I sometimes refer to the parafin, soy, vegtable waxes as the candle medium and sometimes I call them the candle " fuel " ) There are many that do and do so very well. I personally work with parafin, but many call a soy, essential oil based candle a " natural " product. Hope that helps Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
