Can You Put Lemon Juice In A Candle?
Yes, you can put lemon juice in a candle!
Lemon juice is a great way to add a fresh, citrusy scent to your candles. It also helps to keep the wick from getting too dirty, which can cause the candle to burn unevenly.
To add lemon juice to your candle, start by adding about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to every 4 ounces of wax. Then, stir the wax and lemon juice together until the lemon juice is evenly distributed.
Once the lemon juice is added, you can continue to add your favorite scents to the wax. Be sure to stir the wax well after each scent is added, so that the scent is evenly distributed.
Then, pour the wax into your candle jars, and let them cool. Once they have cooled, you can light them and enjoy the fresh, citrusy scent!
