Making aromatic candles at home is a small ritual that brings together creativity, beautiful scents, and moments of complete relaxation. By using natural, non-toxic ingredients and carefully selected essential oils, you can create candles that are safe for you and your home – free from harmful fumes and synthetic fragrances.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp soy wax
- 1 tbsp beeswax
- 1 tbsp solid coconut oil
- 35 drops of essential oil (e.g. Lavender for relaxation or Green Mandarin for uplifting effect)
- 60-90mloz jar or similar container
Instructions
- Melt the solids (soy wax, beeswax, and solid coconut oil) in a double boiler.
- When the mixture has fully melted, remove from the heat. Stir in essential oils and blend for 30 seconds.
- Dip the bottom of the candle wick into the melted wax and use this to stick the wick to the bottom of the container.
- Prop wick upright, and pour the wax into the container.
- Allow the candle to cool completely. Trim the wick to 0,6cm height above the wax.
