Our Soy Wax is perfect for crafting high-quality container candles and tealights, especially if you live in or ship to warmer climates like eastern Washington/Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, or during hot summer months. With a melting point of 113°-118°F, this wax is versatile and reliable, ensuring your candles stay intact even in higher temperatures.

Why Choose Soy Wax?

  • Warm-Climate Friendly: Ideal for hot regions, offering stability in warmer conditions.
  • Versatile Applications: Perfect for container candles and tealights. For wax melts, add a softer oil (e.g., coconut oil) for best results.
  • Fragrance Capacity: Supports a fragrance load of 5-10%, giving you flexibility in scent strength.

How to Use Soy Wax

  1. Melting: Heat the wax to 175°F. Avoid extended heating above 200°F to prevent scorching and discoloration.
  2. Stirring: Stir frequently during melting to ensure even heat distribution.
  3. Adding Fragrance/Color: Cool wax to 175°F before adding fragrance, essential oils, or dyes. Lower temperatures help retain scent quality. Stir well for 1-2 minutes to ensure even dispersion.
    • Recommended fragrance load: 6-10%, depending on desired scent strength.
  4. Pouring: Allow the wax to cool to 135°F before pouring into containers. Ensure containers are at room temperature or slightly warmer to prevent wax from pulling away from the sides.
  5. Curing: Let your candle sit for at least 24 hours before burning. For optimal performance, cure for 2 weeks before lighting.

Candle Making Tips

  • Candle making is an art and requires experimentation. Test each wax, wick, and fragrance combination to achieve your desired results.
  • Always measure ingredients by weight and keep detailed notes for consistency and future success.
  • Check out our Beeswax Beads for blending with soy wax to add firmness, enhance heat throw, and extend burn time.
