Tips & Tricks When Using This Soy Wax
Melt Gently
You can melt this soy wax in a double boiler or microwave. If microwaving, start with 2 minutes, stir, then continue in 30-second intervals until fully melted. This helps avoid scorching the wax.
Best Pouring Temperature
For smooth tops and reduced sinkholes or frosting, pour the wax between 160–180°F. Adding oils when wax is around 185°F gives the best scent throw.
Mix Thoroughly
Stir in essential oils or Safer Fragrance Oils for at least 1–2 minutes to ensure even fragrance distribution. Weak scent or oil “sweating” often comes from under-mixing.
Cure Before Burning
Let your finished candles set for 24–48 hours before lighting. This allows the wax and oils to bind properly for a stronger, longer-lasting scent.
Smooth Out Imperfections
If the surface of your candle looks uneven after cooling, a quick pass with a heat gun (or even a hair dryer) can remelt just the top layer for a clean finish.
Easy Cleanup
While the wax is still warm, wipe tools and containers with a paper towel before washing with hot, soapy water.

Safety Info: Burn Bright, Burn Safe
Candles made with Clean Burn Soy Wax are designed to be safer than many store-bought options, but good candle care is always important. Keep these tips in mind:
Burn Responsibly
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from drafts, pets, and children.
First Burn Matters
Allow the top layer of your candle to fully melt on the first burn (usually 1–2 hours for smaller candles). This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn.
Trim the Wick
Always trim wicks to about ¼ inch (or ⅛ inch for wooden wicks) before each burn. This prevents smoking, flickering, or overheating.
Mind the Container
Only use heat-safe jars or tins designed for candle making. Glass not made for high heat may crack.
Handle Hot Wax With Care
Melt soy wax slowly and never leave it unattended while heating. Use a thermometer to avoid overheating.
Storage Tip
Because soy wax is softer than paraffin, store your finished candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to help them maintain their smooth finish.

Clean Burn Soy Wax is more than just a candle ingredient—it’s a tool for wellness, mindfulness, and self-expression. Whether you’re crafting for fun, gifts, or emotional support, it’s a clean-burning, joy-promoting way to light up your life.
