Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Own Aromatherapy Candles

Gather Your Materials

You will need: Soy or beeswax, a candle wick, a candle jar, a double boiler, a thermometer, and your blended essential oils.

Melt the Wax

Using the double boiler, melt your wax. Keep an eye on the temperature, ensuring it doesn't exceed 185°F (85°C).

Prepare the Wick

While the wax is melting, attach the wick to the bottom of your candle jar using a bit of melted wax to hold it in place.

Add Essential Oils

Once the wax is melted, remove it from heat and let it cool to about 120°F (49°C). Then, add your essential oils, stirring gently to blend.

Pour the Wax

Slowly pour the wax into your jar, making sure the wick stays centered. Let the candle cool and solidify completely.

Trim the Wick

Once the candle is solid, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. Your homemade aromatherapy candle is now ready to use!
