Glycerin, Kosher USP food grade vegetable.Kosher USP food grade vegetable glycerine (glycerin). Vegetable Glycerine is a sweet substance typically obtained from palm or coconut oils. It is an alternative to alcohol for preserving herbal tinctures. Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it will attract moisture to your skin. The more glycerin you have in your cosmetic recipe, the more moisture will be in your finished product.Food grade Glycerin Our Encaustic paint will be here Friday March 25, 24 different encaustic wax paints. NW Encaustic introduces their first line of encaustic paint and medium...paint made by encaustic artists for artists.

Triple filtered encaustic ensures the clearest medium and cleanest colors.Encaustic wax paint We have changed web hosting companies and feel our website will be improving and a lot faster. We now carry Emulsifying wax, Emulsifying wax is one of the essential ingredients in making lotions and creams. Think of it as the “glue” that will hold your recipe together. We’ve all seen how oily salad dressings separate after sitting for a while. You then shake the bottle until it appears to be mixed, but if you look at it closely, you will see little balls of the oil suspended in the liquid. Left to sit, the dressing will again separate into its different properties.
Lotions and creams are created from a mixture of water and oils. Without the addition of emulsifying wax, they too would separate back into water and oils.
We currently have 1 - used 120 lb water jacketed wax melter in stock. $800.00, can be viewed in swancam 1 and swancam 2.

throughout the Swans Candles web site there has been many changes
made. In most cases, it is not necessary to scroll down the

are looking for. The latest change has been to add an online
search capability. Now, all you have to do is type the name of
the item you are looking for in the search box, click on the

about. Check out the two new pages in the "Candle
Accessories Department" called "Misc Candle
Accessories" and "Bobeches". In the "Misc

lists 20 different bobeches. The Candle Craft Section has been expanded to
include four new pages titled "Frangrance Flash
Points". Customers that make Gel Candles have an interest in
the flash point of the scents they are using, so we are making
that information available. The pages are still under
construction as we are adding more "Flash Points" as
they come in from our suppliers. Many of the items that you find on our web site and
in our store are the result of requests from customers. It is our
policy to listen to what our customers have to say and if
possible respond to their desires. Time permitting we plan on updating this page once a
month or sooner if something exciting happens.
So far the plan applies to Color Chips, Candle Scents, and Bright
Lights Votives. These votives are quite unusual multicolored,
highly scented and burn for 16 hours. Bright Lights is a line
that is new to our store in Tacoma, Washington and sales have
been brisk.
