While candle and soap making may be a generations-old craft, there are always new products, and new varieties of old products, to make our candle and soap making more interesting. Each month, I'll feature a listing of some of the interesting new items I come across.
Note: A listing here doesn't constitute an endorsement. While I've worked with and ordered from most of these vendors, I have not tried these items.
Another note: If you're a candle or soap maker, or a vendor, and would like to see an item listed here, just email me at candleandsoap.guide@about.com and I'll include it in next month's list!
