Dee Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'm interested in spa candles too. Do you use soy wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katinka Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 HiMy main target market is salons and spas. Other fragrances of note would be anything with Ylang-Ylang, Water Lily, Neroli / Orange Flower, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla etc. I use standard candle scents, becuase using essential oils makes the cost of the candles too high and one of the big issues in a spa is always too keep costs down as much as possible. Soy and paraffin are equally good in this case. I sell 3x3 and 3x6 pillars and I have also had alot of request for tumblers / containers - as plain as possible.HTHKatinka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 A nice Mint or a Lemon Mint mixture is also nice for spa stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fern Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Nature's Garden has a line of spa type scents...in edition to one in particular called Spa. It's a very nice scent, but it is currently out of stock. Some of the spa types are called: Relaxation, Tranquility, etc. Just go through all of their scents...you'll know them when you see them.

Scented Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Well how about spearmints, lemongrass, lots of herbals, citrus, cucumber even. A good meditation one, at least has been for me, is Amber. Oh and heck the Basil, Sage and Mint I have is divine for my headaches and smells great too!

mystical_angel1219 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Spa candles can command high dollars with a solid marketing approach depending on your market and packaging.I have a few in the works. Ylang Ylang (Sensual), Lemongrass & Orange (Energy), Lavender & Chamomile (Relaxation), etc. Essential oils have to be anchored down with another element to hold the scent in any wax as they fade quickly. If you mix them with premium quality FO they should work well in this application.The names all seem the same, unfortunately. I would like to come up with something more original and sassy.

OutlandishLady Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I sell a few candles at the salon where I get my hair done, and they LOVE the Ylang Ginger from NG. I smell it coming from all the treatment rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmejeffd Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 When I think spa, I associate it with Aromatherapy. Here's a site that lists what scent combinations are supposed to be theraputic for different ailments.http://www.aromatherapyoutlet.com/Oil%20Guide.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
