Coconut Wax

A 100% natural easy-to-use for containers

Coconut wax is made from coconut oil, optionally hydrogenated to increase melting point, harden the wax and improve its colour and stability. It provides superb fragrance retention, scent throw and extended burn time. Coconut wax is the smart choice for candle makers and manufacturers who are focused using more economical, more natural, and more sustainable products for high-quality candle making than using petroleum-based products. It contains no ingredient with animal or mineral/petroleum origin.

Benefits of using Coconut Wax in your Candle Making

• Slow clean burn that helps the candle burn at a more consistent rate and temperature, while producing less soot
• What we love about coconut wax:
  *Beautiful Color - from bright white to creamy and opaque
  * Odorless - does not smell like coconuts
  * Has a superior scent throw (both cold and hot)
  * Little to No frosting or bloom
  * Single pour - no re-pour needed for smooth tops
  * It's easy to work with - candles will have smooth tops at any pouring temp.
  * It burns longer and cleaner
  * Great jar adhesion - jars do not need to be preheated
  * Rich, deep colors can be achieved
  * Burns nicely with most wicks
• * No additives are required
• * Holds up to 10-12% fragrance oil (we recommend 8-10%)
  Coconut waxes melt down fast and do not require a cool off period before pouring so candles can be made very quickly in production without the wait time
• melt point :124 - 127 F
• fragrance load : 8- 10 %
• Melt the wax slowly at a low heat, stir to help it melt. Heat range of 65° - 70° degrees celsius.
  When the wax has melted, test with a thermometer to make sure wax is between 48° - 52° degrees Celsius and add your fragrance. If the wax is too hot it will burn off the fragrance, leaving you with a barely there, subtle scent, rather than a candle with an amazing scent throw. Add fragrance oils, between 8-10% of total wax weight or essential oils, I recommend 5% for essential oils.Mix well to ensure fragrance goes through all the wax.
  Test with a thermometer to make sure wax is between 40° - 46° degrees Celsius and carefully pour the melted coconut wax into your jar.The wax will begin hardening right away, so do not move or adjust your candle until it has set solid. As the wax begins to harden, you'll see the wax go whitish in colour. Leave to sit for at least three hours before moving. I find it best to trim the wick 5 to 6 hours later to avoid the wick disturbing the top of the candle. Trim the wick, using sharp scissors. Generally, you should trim the wick 1 - 1.5cm above the level of your wax.Make sure you allow 3 days for the candle fragrances to cure before burning. Otherwise, the full spectrum of fragrance notes will not be appreciated.
