Tips & variations
Once you have made your cinnamon and vanilla body butter candle, here are a few ways to get a great result and put your own spin on it.
- This doubles as a massage candle: burn briefly, blow out, then pour the warm (never hot) oil onto skin.
- Use skin-safe fragrance only, since the melted oil goes straight onto the body.
- Trim the wick to about 5mm before every burn to keep the flame steady and cut down on soot.
Make it your own: swap the fragrance for any scent in our range, or add a touch of candle dye for a different look.
