Using Soy Candles to Moisturize the Skin


Did you know that you can use your candle as a skin moisturizer?  Because soy wax is an all-natural vegetable wax it makes a nice moisturizer.  After extinguishing your candle, allow the wax to cool a bit, gently dip your fingers into the soft wax, and rub on your skin.  Be sure to keep away from eyes, nose, and mouth.

I am surprised by how many customers tell me that they like to use their soy candles as a moisturizer and have never been told that some of the fragrances are not skin safe.  All soy candle makers should make this information available to their customers.

Please be certain that the fragrance used in the candle is skin safe.  Not all fragrance oils are safe for topical use and could irritate your skin or cause an adverse allergic reaction.  If you are wondering which ones of our fragrances are skin safe, please ask.

    1. I do not know Cynthia. I'm not familiar with Archipelago or what type of grapefruit fragrance they use.
