Ingredients:

• Paraffin or refined wax.
• Aloe Vera pulp.
• Aroma essences: vanilla, coconut, apple, jasmine, etc.
• Wick (cord or piece of string that will burn).
• Vegetable oil.

Preparation:

1. We melt the paraffin or refined wax (the amount will depend on the number of candles we want to make with this recipe).
2. Stir very well until it becomes liquid and let it cool.
3. Next, we make sure the wax is not hot so as not to alter the properties of the aroma we are going to use and add the aloe vera pulp and the aromatic essence that we like the most.
4. We grease with a little vegetable oil candle molds and add the mixture.
5. We put the wick with the help of a toothpick, pencil, or holding stick in the center of what will be the candle. Ideally, let it cool for at least 5 hours.
6. Finally, once the time has passed, we carefully unmold it to avoid damaging it and... We already have our scented candle ready to decorate it to our liking and place it in the perfect spot!
