Florida Water Wooden Wick Soy Wax Candle Made with our small batch in house crafted Florida Water essential oil blend (no water, witch hazel oil or alcohol). I blend my essential oil recipe into our pure soy wax and add organic coconut oil to allow this candle to gently melt into a skin safe candle to allow you to massage this luxury tool into your skin for added protection and skin soothing benefits. If you are choosing to use this candle for massage simply allow the candle to melt to the edge of the jar as you normally would (1-2 hours), extinguish the candle and allow it to rest for 10 then carefully pour a small amount into your hand and use as you would a warmed massage oil. Be certain to trim your wick back to 1/8 inch after the wax has hardened if you pour wax out for massage use. Be careful to follow these directions and be mindful to avoid burns or making a mess out of a soothing situation. I'm not big on massage so I just dip my fingers in the cooled wax and use it like a lotion on my hands, arms and neck. Perfect with a ritual cleansing bath before important events, activities that involve exposure to crowds or after a day of such exposure to cleanse and reset. Offered in 8-9 Oz brown glass jars. We make our Florida Water in house from a century old recipe using natural ingredients crafted and curated specifically for this recipe. Florida (Flower) water was originally a recipe circulated between households before the days of common indoor plumbing. It was a common and easy to make “cologne” used before the convenience of every day baths. In the late 1800’s the first recorded use of Florida Water for a household cleaner and spiritual cleanser was recorded. Housewives would add the water to warm water for use as a deodorizer and cleanser. It was appreciated for its ability to rid the home of smells and even credited for keeping families healthy. It’s no wonder it was loved for cleaning and freshening, it’s powerhouse ingredients of citrus oils, alcohol, witch Hazel and alcohol certainly have their place in any cleaning cabinet. Old medical journals suggest running it into sore muscles, aching joints, itchy feet and as a natural cut and scrape cleanser. It was even advertised as a mouthwash at one time (Don’t do that!!!). Today there are still many uses for it from SPIRITUAL USES as a CLEANSER, BAD VIBE OR EVIL EYE DEFLECTOR and PROTECTION We start with a hand crafted alcohol based Rose water tincture I craft from fresh, pesticide free rose petals (from my garden) allowed to sit in the dark for months to extract the powerful properties of Roses blessings. We build on this base with essential oils of witch Hazel, lavender, citrus, clove, rosemary, sage and chamomile with a touch of copal ( benzoin ) resin and frankincense for warmth.

If the wick is too long, the wax will not pull up the wick, and the flame will dim or even extinguish. ⛔️NEVER remove wax from around the wick, it starves the wick and creates a tunnel. If your wooden wick is extinguishing shortly after lighting it, trimming is the problem. Simply give it a trim with wick trimmers, nail clippers or simply snap the char off with your fingers or tap if off with your lighter and remove the wick bits, light it at the wax level and you'll be crackling away!!

Although millions of Americans regularly use scented products without any negative effects, it is always possible that a particular fragrance might trigger a negative reaction in a very small percentage of sensitive individuals. Individuals with known sensitivities to specific fragrances may want to avoid products of those scents. In addition, consumers should remember to burn all candles, whether scented or unscented, in a well-ventilated area and test skincare products in a small area before use.
