Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 I recently purchased a bunch of flaked candelilla wax for the purpose of making animal-free lip balms and solid lotion bars (no beeswax) and I was struck by how beautiful the wax smells. It's very woody and aromatic, a hint of dried pine needles and cedar plus a very dry sandalwoody aspect, maybe something guaiac wood-like. I have some of the wax steeping with jojoba oil in a warmer now, trying to see if I can pull the scent out a bit. I did my first round of lotion bars in a sandalwood blend and it really seemed to compliment it well. Of course, now I have to see if it overpowers other things... -- Regards, Teegarden, Owner Althaea Soaps and Herbals 504 W. Oakland Avenue City, TN http://www.althaea.biz 423.943.6974 Quote
