What is a good subsitute for candle wax?

Question

i was thinkin aloe vera?

its my moms b day tomorrow andd can you also give me an easy recipe?

thanks so much <3

Answer 1

Go to Michael&#039;s crafts, they will have soy wax and also

kits for making gel candles.  Aloe vera is for putting on

sunburns, not for making candles!

Answer 2

Is this for making candles, or some other use? What is it you want a recipe for? If you don&#039;t ask the question properly, you can&#039;t expect helpful answers.

Answer 3

You can&#039;t substitute aloe vera for candle wax....and candle making isn&#039;t really easy and can be very messy.  You can make your own lotions, though, is that more what you had in mind?  I can&#039;t help you with that - I&#039;m a candlemaker.  But I can tell you that you need some kind of wax, be it soy, palm, bee&#039;s, paraffin, etc. for a candle.  Oh, a fun and somewhat easy thing you could do is purchase some granulated wax from a craft store and make one that way.  It&#039;s the same concept as like a sand sculpture, but when you&#039;re done, you put a wick in the middle.  I bet your mom would like that.  Good luck with whatever you decide!
