Does anyone know what the best wax blend is to make massage candles with? I have all skin safe fragrances and have customers asking for body candles. I know they have palm wax in them but I believe it is a blend that is used.
Bead wax. Granulated into small beads, this type of wax can be found in a variety of colors and scents. And it has a convenience factor that you may find refreshing.
You can incorporate bead wax into your candle making hobby in one of two ways (or use both at different times!). You can simply melt it instead of the chunky paraffin wax.
Or you can add it whole to another melted wax to create a great, new colorful design. If you want the beads to retain their spherical shape, add them when the base wax is cooling and less likely to distort their shape.
