How to choose candle and soap making supplies

Decide first between candles and soap, and between melt-and-pour or from-scratch methods. Melt-and-pour soap and container candles are the gentlest introduction; cold-process soap uses lye and needs more care.

  • Match wick size to the container diameter; too small a wick tunnels, too large one smokes.
  • Use fragrance oils labelled skin-safe for soap and candle-safe for candles, at the recommended percentage.
  • Melt wax in a double boiler with a thermometer and never leave it unattended.
  • Wear gloves and eye protection when handling lye, and always add lye to water, not water to lye.
