About

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.
