Where to find Wax for Candle Making In Barbados
If you are a Barbadian that enjoys crafts, a great and inexpensive hobby that you can pick up is candle making. Candle making requires a heat proof container, wicks and wax, along with a few other items that you most likely have around your house, like pots and tape. It can be great for creating candles that keep away pesky mosquitoes or just adding a scent you really love to your home.
So where do you find candle making supplies in Barbados? It is not always easy, but if you look hard enough, you will find quite a few options.
The Raw Cornuh
The Raw Cornuh is a St. Philip-based small business, a stone’s throw away from Six Roads. They have a small collection of all of the basic candle making supplies, excluding the containers.
Most importantly, you can find Soy Wax here. In candle making, it is the most commonly used wax. It costs 10.00 BDS/lbs, which is about the average price of soy wax. Unfortunately, you won’t find beeswax, paraffin wax or coconut wax here.
