How to Make Aromatherapy Soy Candles

Soy wax candles not only burn longer than traditional candles, they also burn cleaner because they're free of toxins, carcinogens, and harmful vapors. We only carry pure soy wax that contains 100% natural additives to give our wax ideal melting qualities, burning qualities, and scent throw.

Aromatherapy Soy Candle Pouring Instructions

Using Eco Soy Soy Wax Melt point = 111° F (37.8° C)

1. Heat soy wax and remove from heat source.

2. Add essential oil. Recommended maximum scent load is about 10%. To minimize scent loss, add scent prior to pouring but at a wax temperature no less than 135°F (57.2°C). Accommodate for temperature drop due to the addition of the cooler scent when targeting the pour temperature. Some scents may react poorly causing bleed, objectionable frosting, or poor flame quality, so you may need to experiment.

Tip: Use a high quality thermometer to monitor your wax temperature.

1. Stir while cooling.

2. Pour into wicked container. Pour temperatures will vary according to container type and size, fragrance and dye, and the effects you want to achieve. Soy Wax can be poured as low as 100° F (37.8° C) if the wax is kept in motion (constant mixing) until poured.
