What makes soy wax flakes a good choice for candle making?
Soy wax flakes are popular for candle making because they are made from a renewable source, making them an eco-friendly option. They burn cleaner and longer than traditional paraffin wax, produce less soot, and are biodegradable. Soy wax also holds fragrance well, releasing scents gradually and efficiently.

How do I melt soy wax flakes for candle making?
Melting soy wax flakes is straightforward. Use a double boiler system by placing the wax in a heat-proof container over simmering water. Heat the wax to about 170-180 degrees Fahrenheit (77-82 degrees Celsius), stirring occasionally until fully melted. Avoid overheating to preserve the quality of the wax.

Can I add fragrance oils to soy wax candles?
Yes, you can add fragrance oils to soy wax candles. It's best to add your fragrance oil once the wax has melted and cooled to around 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit (49-54 degrees Celsius). This temperature helps ensure the scent bonds well with the wax, optimizing fragrance throw. The recommended ratio is about 1 ounce (about 30 ml) of fragrance oil per pound (about 454 grams) of soy wax, but you can adjust this based on personal preference and the oil's strength.
