Merry Xmas to all

It has been quite some time since I have been online,  but I was wondering if there are any fresholi members who are also candlemakers, or if not you might know of someone who you could recommend.

PurpleSparkle is the first one who comes to mind (there's Soheila but she's in Finland), Keillys has made some but I don't know if she sells them.

Hi everyone

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly - and whilst I will learn how to make candles of my own I want to take a short cut by finding someone who has the capability of making on a larger scale.

I am also looking for a fragrance formulator - someone who can come up with some beautiful aromas.

I will also start going through the older posts to see if I can find more information.

Helen you have an excellent memory - but Susan is correct.  In one of the posts I read you mentioned to you gone to a lab where they test the candles - I can't seem to be able to find the post again!! Do you remember the name of the lab?  How long does the testing usually take before it is ready to general use for the public?

 Huh?

Aye I used to make candles but I don't anymore; I'm afraid I just don't have the resources but it would be fun if I wasn't put all my energy into soap!

Good luck!

I'm told Carvansons are very helpful - will send out samples.

IIRC Joy had a fragrance made up for her.

I make candles, many more candles than soaps, so I don't know if I can help with anything?

Carvansons are very helpful and will work with you to make a smell.  :mwaha:
I don't make candles though.
