Skinny Dip Candles, Safe for Body and Massage

by

Skinny Dip candles are a candle, massage oil and lotion in one. They use high quality cosmetic grade soy, which is more skin nourishing than the traditional soy wax used in candles. Other luscious skin safe ingredients include cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado butter and vitamin E. skinny dip hand

Their candles are designed to burn only as hot as 101 degrees or about the temperature of a warm bath. After blowing out your candle, you can immediately apply it as a lotion to leave your skin feeling soft and lightly scented. Besides being beneficial to your skin, they’re biodegradable, clean up easy, burn virtually soot free and last longer.

Scents are offered with either fragrance oil or essential oils. Some of their delicious sounding fragrances are:

  1. Ambrosia- a yummy blend of oranges, coconut and peaches.
  2. Angel Food Cake- Soft vanilla with undertones.
  3. Honey Almond – Enough said
  4. Basil Rose – an interesting feminine floral combination.
  5. Jasmine and Sandalwood- Jasmine with undertones of sandalwood.
  6. Mango Papaya- delectable tropical blend.
  7. Chocolate Silk- for chocolate lovers.
  8. Bare Naked- (unscented)

There are 18 scents in total and they also sell bath salts and lip balm that you can purchase in a Skinny Dip Pamper Pack. Their candles all come in a 6 oz. travel friendly tin and are reasonably priced at just 10.95 each.

Etsy Feature – Moth Pottery Template for Slab Building

Sometimes clay tools feel more like magic than equipment, and this Moth Pottery Template definitely falls into that category. One moment you’re working with a flat slab, and the next you’re holding a detailed, sculptural moth that looks like it could flutter right off your table.

Why This Template Caught My Eye

This design stands out because it combines structure with artistry. The template gives you the clean, symmetrical base of the moth form, but once you have that shape cut, the real fun begins—adding textures, underglazes, or even metallic accents to bring the wings to life.

It’s ideal for slab-builders who want to go beyond mugs and bowls and dive into more decorative or sculptural projects.

What Makes It Special

  • Unique Subject: How often do you see a pottery moth? It’s an instant conversation starter.

  • Sculptural Yet Simple: The template does the tricky work, leaving you free to decorate.

  • Wall Art or Table Décor: Finished moths look stunning hung on a wall, framed, or displayed on a shelf.

  • Room for Creativity: Paint with bright colors, earthy neutrals, or even metallics for different vibes.

Ideas for Makers

  • Use glossy glazes with shimmering metallic accents for a celestial-style moth.

  • Keep it natural and muted for a woodland-inspired look.

  • Make a series of moths in different colors and sizes for a gallery wall effect.

  • Turn smaller versions into pendants or ornaments.

Why Makers Will Love It

Templates like this are inspiring because they bridge the gap between functional pottery and decorative art. It’s not just about making something useful—it’s about making something memorable. And let’s be honest, it’s the kind of piece guests will immediately comment on when they spot it in your home.
