RE: Back Acres: How to Make Beeswax Candles - with Citronella
Curious to know if the homemade citronella candles kept away the bugs. I've also found store bought doesn't work for our super-bugs. We have bees on our homestead and I use the beeswax in natural skin care products, but I'm going to try your recipe to make some candles. Thanks for this! Your mosaic table is very pretty
Thanks, I'm always reaching for that mosaic table for small item photo shoots - very cheerful variety of colors :) I've made lip balm with beeswax too - just beeswax and coconut oil - the coconut oil making the combination soft enough to spread, you most likely know that from making the skin care products. I hope you post about making the candles, I like to see how other people do things a little differently (or the same) :)
Will do. I was actually taking photos of making my beeswax lip balm when I saw your post! Funny. I add carrot oil and vit E. Plus a dash of either lemon or peppermint essential oils. Moisturising, healing and a zesty flavour
