ScentedPleasurez Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Okay so a bunch of these came up on an ad yesterday. They are really cute and seem to be widely popular. My question is wouldn't the extra catch fire? Lol I get as the wax melts the items would sink but some have the tops fully loaded with bits and all I see is a huge fire hazard.

Mamabear Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I would never make candles with any herbs or flowers in them. The dried foliage would catch fire too easily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcandleattic Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I agree with everyone else. All I see is a fire hazard. I don't even find them cute or pretty, just hazardous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) I agree and don't think I'd ever top them with herbs or flowers but I have for myself tried lavender buds and mixed throughout the wax and it burned fine, but the buds were totally coated in wax and I'd never sell one. There are other things you can use like embeds even tiny ones or I use coffee grounds all the time on my coffee candles and no problem with those. I bought the tiniest round embeds they looked like confetti but never found them again! Edited October 29, 2018 by kandlekrazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I tried coffee beans in a candles once. The sizzle and smoke were pretty eye opening. I make a few mini tapers with powdered herbs with no problem. A dusting, not a coating. If the particles are too big they do indeed create a roman candle, Salt, though, will diminish fire. Several wicks are treated with sal solution to slow the burn. The flash point on salt is ridiculously high, so no worries about fire with them, but why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These candles will spread positive and loving energies throughout your home. 15,000 sales in one etsy shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 And how do they prove that claim, lol. The FDA should be be all over them for marketing medical drug claims in a candle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentedPleasurez Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 They can't but if someone were to read about the benefits of Himalayan salts and warming, which is all over the web then it would be kept in mind I suppose.. it's several different shops with them with alot of sales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentedPleasurez Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 This one has gemstones l o l . This candle is excellent for: meditating, promoting self love, opening yourself and others up to a higher vibration of love, grounding, cleansing & renewing your space/energy, This 8 oz, vegan candle is made out of 100% eco-friendly soy wax, lead-free wicks, essential oil and scent oil blends, organic, homegrown flowers, BEAUTIFUL, high quality, aura quartz crystals, SO MUCH LOVE and it comes in a reusable, glass mason jar!!! will alter the mood of your home and create a setting that corresponds with your chosen scent. You can feel good about using these chemical and paraffin free creations! Choosing a candle paired with gemstones and crystals enhances the oil properties and good vibes. For thousands of years, ancient civilizations have utilized the power of gemstones and crystals to release mental, physical and spiritual blockages, thus facilitating the free flow of energy throughout the body. On a cellular level, our bodies and quartz crystals are both made up of mineral silicon-dioxide. Because of this, we are naturally receptive to the vibrations of crystals as they transmit, reflect, store light and receive energy. According to the law of physics, thoughts direct energy and energy follows thought. Our crystal candles serve as a tool to help the thoughts of our consciousness connect with our bodies 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pughaus Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 There are so many candles out there that are "made with love"- at this point someone could really set themselves apart by using the tagline "poured with indifference" 😏 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes ! In my early days of candle making, I was testing a pillar I made with whole coffee beans at the bottom. It burned great... until it reached the coffee beans. I refer to it as the "Table Top Inferno of 1996" 😦 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
