Oils, butters and fragrance materials for richer cold-weather formulations

A handmade scented candle is a personal gift that can be customised through the wax, wick, fragrance, colour and container. Here are three different winter candle ideas with practical formulas.

A simple, comfortably nourishing hand cream for everyday care of dry and hard-working hands. Jojoba oil and shea butter provide softness, while aloe vera, glycerin and D-panthenol help maintain comfortable hydration.

A fluffy whipped body butter with shea butter, virgin coconut oil, almond oil and peach kernel oil. Rich anhydrous care for dry winter skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth and comfortably conditioned.

A rich yet comfortable winter hand cream for dry and hard-working hands. Shea butter and almond oil provide softness and protection, while aloe vera, glycerin and D-panthenol help maintain hydration and comfort.

A rich anhydrous lip balm for dry and chapped lips during colder weather. Beeswax, shea butter and almond, coconut and castor oils create a protective conditioning layer that helps keep the lips soft and supple.
