I'm just labeling up some lotions, I finished packaging Frankincense Resin last night, I'm doing up some Elderberry syrup today, shipping a couple of things, maybe some scrubs or something, later on.

From hobby to retail
iansmommaya replied to xxxAlpha71xxx's topic in General Candle Making Discussions
I don't make candles, I'm an Herbalist and soapmaker, and if you remove all of the time for state and federal regulations, it was a goodly amount of time. There isn't really a comparison in Herbalism but in soapmaking a year, but I actually dont think the length of time is the only factor, it's also the number of batches the amount of soap one makes. And also all you learn when Sunshine goes wrong. The amount you learn when you stretch your skills. I imagine the same or similar learning process applies to candle making. -

I dont really have a decor unless you count ADD and chaos combined with a 1912 house, circus and Scottish Travellers as a style. That said I like the undyed candles they would match my decor better if I had one.

wick Horizontal Wicks?
iansmommaya replied to 7kgirl's topic in Vegetable Wax & Beeswax Candle Making
It seems there is a provisional patent on those wood wicks. https://patents.google.com/patent/US9816053B2/en?q=wooden&q=candle+wick&oq=wooden+candle+wick -
Unscented and lavender sell well, so does Helichrysum. Blue Chamomile which does wonders for the skin and is a beautiful azule color just didnt sell very well. I should blend it with something else.
