Meridith Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 You can buy the paraffin wax used to dip hands and feet in at beauty supply stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I think it's a mixture of some kind of straight paraffin and mineral oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I couldn't find any recipes doing a quick search, but I found one place selling paraffin treatments that had these ingredients listed:Wax blends feature one or more of the following ingredients: Vitamin E, Evening Primrose, Menthol, Eucalyptus, Yucca Glauca, Coconut Oil, Peach Oil. That might give you an idea of things to play around with (but I don't think I would use menthol on hands with cuts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elitenaildesign Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 You could just buy it unscented and add your own scents and such I would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Any reason why we couldn't use candle wax? Is the stuff sold for hands less expensive than what we have to pay for candle wax?Darbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
