How to make a CBD candle
Materials needed:
- Mason jar
- Hemp wick
- 1 pound of soy wax
- 1 cup of organic coconut oil
- 1 ounce of CBD isolate
- Hot glue gun
- Oven mitts
- Double boiler
- Food thermometer
- Cardstock
Directions
-
Melt the soy wax and organic coconut oil in the double boiler at medium-low heat.
-
Use your glue gun to attach your hemp wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Make sure you are centering your wick properly and allowing a length of hemp that will permit for trimming the wick later on.
-
Secure the wick by using the cardstock. Cut the cardstock bigger than the mason jar top. Cut a hole in the middle of the card, allowing for the pouring of the wax into the jar. The wick should now be suspended perpendicular to the bottom of the jar.
-
When the wax is melted, allow it to cool to 120 degrees, and use your food thermometer to gauge the temperature throughout the process.
-
Now is the time to add your CBD oil to the mixture and be sure to blend it into the wax before moving on for an even distribution of the oil.
-
Pour your wax into the mason jar being sure to leave about 1cm space from the top of the jar.
-
Allow the mixture to cool and trim the wick down to about ½ inch.
You can now decorate your jar perhaps by identifying the effects that can be experienced if used as a body massage oil and the essential oil used for aromatic pleasures or try pairing your candle with your favorite strain of cannabis. The terpenes that provide the aromatic aromas noted when smoking your herb can be the same terpenes used in your candle. The combination can provide complete immersion in the aromatic and health benefits of the cannabis plant.
