3 Scented Candles You Can Make at Home and Resell to Others | Get a spa atmosphere in your home with the help of aromatherapy scented candles. Here are some scents you can make and resell at home.
Aromatherapy scented candles are popular nowadays. Not only are they used for aesthetic purposes, but they also help improve the mood and mental well-being of people in the room. If you are tired, anxious, in need of motivation, or an added push to get things done or take things slow, specific fragrances from scented candles can help you achieve your goal.
More and more people want to purchase scented candles, which drives the demand for the product. If you want to channel your creativity and profit from it, making scented candles at home is a good sideline.
Both essential and fragrance oils are safe to be used for candle making but to get more scent out of your candles; it is best to use fragrance oils. However, if you prefer using essential oils, be prepared to use plenty of them in your candle because this type of oil doesn’t throw scent well once the candle is burned. If you wish to use pure essential oil in your candle, use approximately 100 drops of essential oils per pound of wax. You can also mix two ounces of fragrance oil and 20 drops of essential oil per pound of wax to cut the costs.
