Product description

A specially designed blend of rapeseed wax and coconut wax is intended for the production of wax melts for aroma lamps and also for the production of tealight candles. The wax has not been produced from genetically modified raw materials, it does not contain any soy or palm wax. It is suitable for vegans and has Halal and Kosher certification. 

This blend is not intended or suitable for the production of container candles or for the production of free‑standing molded candles.

Before you start producing wax melts or candles, study the manufacturing procedure in detail and test every new combination (whether container, wick, fragrance, color, or a blend of different waxes) first on one small candle and perform a burn test. Only when the burn result is fully satisfactory should you start producing candles in larger quantities. This will help you avoid unnecessary disappointment and the devaluation of a large amount of material.

How to melt the wax: Melt the wax in a water bath to a temperature of 70°C. A higher temperature ensures better dissolution of the added dye. If you are using natural wax and are not adding dye, heating to 65°C is sufficient. Continuous stirring during melting is important in order to prevent scorching. Immediately before the wax is completely melted, it is recommended to reduce the heating power. Avoid prolonged heating of the wax above 90°C.

How to color the wax: If you plan to color the wax melts, melt the wax to 70°C as described above and incorporate the dye directly into the entire batch of wax. The dye must be thoroughly and evenly dispersed.

How to add fragrances: You can add fragrance to the candles by using essential oils or fragrance oils, or a combination of both. Before using the fragrances themselves, make sure that they are fully oil‑soluble (all fragrances from our range are suitable for candles and are soluble in oils). The amount depends on the type of fragrance used. As a general rule, fragrance oils are much more concentrated and therefore only a smaller amount is needed compared to essential oils. Fragrance oils are pre‑blended fragrance compositions, whereas essential oils are pure single‑note scents that we recommend blending to achieve an ideal result. You can read more about the difference between fragrance oils and essential oils in the articles Fragrance Oils and Essential Oils. Ideal results are achieved at 8 %, but after proper testing it is possible to add more. After the waxes have cooled, it is necessary to check whether any components of the fragrances are separating (this can occur especially at higher fragrance concentrations).

How to choose the right wick: The optimal wick size depends on the dimensions of the container used. In general, containers with a larger diameter require a stronger wick or the use of more than one wick. In addition, blends of vegetable waxes have a much higher viscosity than paraffin waxes and therefore require stronger‑burning wicks. We strongly emphasize that every combination of wick, container and wax must be thoroughly tested before you start candle production. Since wick burning is influenced, besides the container diameter and type of wax used, also by the type and amount of added dyes, we cannot guarantee correct and trouble‑free burning for every combination. The final choice of wick should always be confirmed by individual testing carried out by the customer. We recommend performing the first test using only pure wax and, if you are satisfied with the burn results, gradually adding different concentrations of fragrances and dyes. It is also very useful to keep individual samples for a certain period of time so that you can return to the individual combinations later.

Pouring the wax: This wax blend is quite versatile in terms of pouring temperatures, with good results at temperatures from 50 - 60°C. Adjust the temperature according to the room temperature. In a cooler room, choose a higher pouring temperature to prevent the formation of lines when the wax touches the edges of the mold. The period during which the wax is held at an elevated temperature should be minimized – this will prevent the loss of the top notes of your fragrances.

Cooling the wax: After pouring the wax into the mold, it needs to be allowed to cool down gradually. Let the wax stand for at least 24 hours before use.
