You know through 7 years of making candles. I cannot count the number of times I have had a customer ask. "Are these the kinds you can use as lotion?" and tell me about seeing someone walking around a candle display having people apply it to their skin!! I try not to slam the ones doing it. But I tell them. If it is colored it is not skin safe. ex. candle colorant , bath and body colorant. It can burn, irritate, cause a reaction like no other. I always just tell them if you want a soy lotion bar, I will make one up for you but if I hear you are sticking your fingers in my candles and applying it to your skin. I wont sell you another one!! Just my thoughts for what they are worth!!
