Natural Candle Waxes

🧊 Natural Wax Characteristics: What You Should Know

❄️ Frosting

  • Appears as a white, crystalline layer on the surface or sides of the wax.
  • Caused by the natural crystallization of plant-based waxes like soy and coconut.
  • 100% normal and doesn’t affect fragrance or performance—just a sign of purity, not a flaw.

⬇️ Shrinkage or Pull Away

  • Sometimes wax pulls slightly from the jar walls as it cools.
  • A natural reaction to temperature changes or humidity.
  • Doesn’t impact scent throw or usability—especially in wickless candles.

🌿 Color Variations

  • Natural wax blends may show slight variations in tone across batches.
  • This is due to changes in raw, plant-based ingredients—not artificial dyes or stabilizers.
  • It reflects the authentic, minimally processed nature of the wax.

🔥 Lower Melt Point

  • Coconut and soy waxes melt at lower temperatures than paraffin.
  • Ideal for wickless use, as they melt smoothly on warmers without flame.
  • Enhances fragrance release while keeping air clean and soot-free.

🧼 Smooth, Velvety Finish

  • Natural waxes have a soft texture and creamy appearance.
  • Can sometimes show surface marks or settling—purely cosmetic.
  • Gives a hand-poured, artisanal look that reflects quality craftsmanship.

💬 Because we use a blend of natural coconut and soy wax, you may notice small visual changes like frosting or shrinkage. These are signs of purity—not defects—and they don’t affect performance or scent. We embrace them as part of the beauty of working with God's creation.

 

🕯️ Coconut Soy Wax – Curing Time Explained

Why Waiting Matters for Fragrance Strength

After a wickless candle or wax melt is poured, the wax needs time to fully bond with the fragrance oils—a process called curing. This ensures your scent throw is rich, balanced, and long-lasting once used.

⏳ What is “Curing”?

  • It’s the resting period after pouring, allowing wax and oils to blend and stabilize.
  • Think of it like letting flavors meld in a good stew—time improves performance!

🥥 Coconut Soy Blend Behavior

  • Our coconut soy wax is softer and more luxurious than many waxes, meaning it absorbs fragrance beautifully—but needs a bit more time to fully release it when warmed.
  • This natural wax blend benefits from a minimum of 7–10 days of curing, though many makers cure for 2+ weeks for optimal fragrance strength.

🧼 Why It’s Worth the Wait

  • Improved scent throw—stronger, more vibrant aroma when melted or warmed
  • Longer-lasting performance—your candle won’t fade out halfway through
  • Reliable consistency—each product smells just as intended

💬 Our wickless candles and wax melts are cured for at least 10 days to ensure full fragrance release. If you’ve just received your order, feel free to enjoy it right away—but know the scent may continue to grow stronger as it settles. Good things come to those who warm!
