About the
Skinny Dip Candletm
What Makes Skinny Dips Special?
* We have been making Skinny Dip Candlestm since 2004 and we make a wide variety of
scents, all bearing the Skinny Dip name. While we are flattered that our success led others to creatively use
Skinny Dip as a scent name, please do not be confused. Our brand is Skinny Dip
Candles and every single scent we make features our trademarked Skinny Dip Candletm brand name.
* Skinny Dip Candles were the first on the market to use
pure cosmetic grade ingredients in a "lotion candle" or "massage candle." You will find many of our
competitors using soy that is used for traditional candle making in their "lotion candles." While traditional
soy won't hurt anyone, lotion / massage candles made with this grade of soy are not of
the same high quality as ours.
* Far more than a novelty, Skinny Dip Candles are made to make a truly noticeable
difference in skin elasticity and moisture. We use only cosmetic grade soy (NOT soy made for making regular
candles), and we add top quality cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E
for their emolient, skin nurturing properties.
* We use ONLY skin-safe fragrance oil (not all fragrances are skin-safe) and ONLY in skin-safe quantities. (There
are some who tout their lotion or massage candles as "highly scented." If a lotion candle is scented
enough to be called "highly scented," it contains far more fragrance oil than what will be
skin-safe.)
* Skinny Dip Candles are individually hand-poured into 6 ounce tins (6
ounces by volume, net weight will be less). We pour our candles and lip balm in a commercial
production facility dedicated to making our products. We use production techniques that comply with all aspects
of FDA guidelines. (See our production facility by clicking here -- you will
need to scroll to the bottom of the page.)
* We are a family business. We are intimately involved in all aspects
of our industry and the production of our own products. We have a passion for what we do, and we take pride in
how we do it.
Ingredients and Use
Skinny Dip Candles are specially formulated to be used as
a warm lotion for moisturizing cuticles and dry skin, as well as a massage oil. Skinny Dip Candles
are made with a proprietary blend of high quality, cosmetic-grade soy, avocado oil, coconut oil, shea
butter, beeswax, sunflower oil, cocoa butter, vitamin E, and skin-safe essential or fragrance
oil. As an added benefit, the candle in its unmelted state is
essentially a body balm. The balm can easily be massaged into dry skin areas when lighting the candle isn't
feasible or practical.
Due to its unique ingredient composition, a Skinny
Dip Candle burns at just over body temperature (about 102 degrees) when melted. . . the
temperature of a relaxing, hot bath. Use the Skinny Dip Candle as a warm body moisturizer, or as a soothing
treatment for your cuticles, hands, elbows and feet. You can also use the
candle as a massage oil - perfect for couples massage, or for use by professional
therapists. The Skinny Dip Candle can also be used unmelted if desired. With a solid texture similar
to that of a rich body balm, it can easily be massaged into the skin.
