Soy wax is a natural, vegetable-based wax derived from soybean oil. It is a popular choice for candle making due to its clean-burning properties, sustainability, and eco-friendliness. Soy wax is biodegradable, renewable, and free from harmful toxins, making it a healthier alternative to traditional paraffin wax. It has a creamy white appearance and a smooth texture, perfect for creating beautifully crafted candles with vibrant colors and fragrance of choice.
Benefits of using Natural Soy Wax
Renewable Resource : Soy wax is made from soybeans, which are a renewable resource that can be grown and harvested sustainably.
Biodegradable : Soy wax is biodegradable, meaning it breaks down naturally over time, reducing its environmental impact.
Clean-Burning : Soy wax burns cleaner and produces less soot than paraffin wax, resulting in a healthier indoor environment.
Longer Burn Time : Soy wax candles typically have a longer burn time compared to paraffin candles, providing more hours of enjoyment per candle.
Excellent Fragrance Throw : Soy wax has a high fragrance-holding capacity, allowing candles to release a strong and long-lasting scent when burned.
Easy Cleanup : Spills and drips from soy wax candles are easy to clean up with soap and water, making them convenient for everyday use.
Directions for Candle Making with Natural Soy Wax
Measure and Melt the desired amount of soy wax flakes by placing them in a double boiler or melting pot on low to medium heat until completely melted. Once melted, remove from heat.
Add fragrance or essential oil to the melted wax for desired fragrance or aroma benefits, this is an optional step.
Prepare the candle container by securing the wick/s in the centre or equidistant from each other using wick holders. Ensure the wicks are straight to prevent uneven burning.
Pour wax into containers and leave space at the top for expansion and while pouring, use a wick centering tool to keep the wicks upright. Let it cool and cure for about 24 hours.
Trim the wicks using a pair of scissors or wick trimmer to approximately ¼ inch in length.
Your homemade candles are ready for use! Store them in a safe and dry location and enjoy the warm glow and delightful fragrance they provide.
