Bunny Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Smells like Vicks! I have customers who literately beg for it, both in candles and in bath bombs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy/WI Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 NG's is very strong in my soy wax. I sell a lot of it year round. I was useing 8% but had to back down to 6% it was so strong. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekrunner Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Maybe they could make a wasabe FO. That would really clean out your sinuses! Color it green. LOLBTW if the Sinus Relief FO smells like Vicks, why not just add Vicks to soy wax? I think I will try that. I seem to remember Alan experimenting with sticking wicks in various substances to see if it will burn or not.geek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hmmm geek.. I'm not sure it would be all that safe. Here's my reasoning. Chemically - straight out of the bottle vicks is safe to inhale. Now, we both know things are chemically altered when they burn, and it might turn into something that may smell good, but also may be unsafe. And the cost might do ya in too as compared to the 13 bucks for the fo. Whatcha think?And simply soy - customers say yes it works for sinuses!

Sharon in KY Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Vick's is safe but the cost would prohibit it. Have you checked the price of a little jar of vicks lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simply soy Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hm, I read on Bittercreek's message board the debate on the safetyof adding Vick's to candles. One woman said she was a witnessto the candle catching on fire. Right on the Vicks label it says: Warning: Do not heat. Never expose to flame, microwave or any container in which you are heating water.Lawsuit is not a lovely word.Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
