Soy candles are natural and burn cleaner then wax paraffin. The popularity of them is growing. Despite the soy wax is a bit more expensive than paraffin wax, people have used and soy candles are becoming quickly addicted to them.

Making soy candles is like a recipe.

If you can make candles with paraffin wax, can make candles with soy wax. Candle making is like trying a new food recipe, you sometimes have to prove things one way and then the other to see what works best for you. The conclusion is that soy wax and paraffin wax both smell and color are the same in the sails, but is ideal for learning how to make a new type of candles and offer a great variety in their candle making if you are making candles for pleasure or a business.

How to make soy candles.

The only thing that is really different about making soy candles then paraffin candles is the wax. Both use the same techniques and equipment. You can use a double boiler to melt the soy wax. A double boiler is a small pot with the wax is placed in a large pot filled with water that is placed on the stove. Heat the soy wax from 150 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Be careful not to keep the wax melted above 150 degrees Fahrenheit for too long, it could burn that will give the wax a yellowish appearance. Ounce of wax is completely melted you can add the color you want. You can then remove from heat and add the fragrance. Is better use perfumes 7%. This only means that for every pound of soy wax one can use 1.12 ounces of fragrance oil. If concentration of fragrance is too high, it can bleed through the sail. Soy wax can be about 140 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. You can then pour the wax into the mold to cool. Note careful not to pour the wax at very low temperatures or the candle could crack. The wax should be between 95 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. You should also not use water to cool the candle quickly. This could also cause the wing nut to crack.

Candle Wax from soy and where to look.

Soy wax is a vegetable wax which is made from soybeans. The oil is extracted from soy flakes and hydrogenated. Most of the world's soybeans are grown in the United States. You need not go so far to buy yours. You can find your soy wax in your local town or city in many if not all, hobby or craft shops without paying for an expensive passenger ticket or foot the bill for postage.

What is a massage candle? Light the candle and burn it for 15+ minutes to enjoy the wonderful scent. Extinguish the flame, then use it as a warm massage oil. One of the benefits of using Greenfire Candles for massage is that the warm oily wax soothes dry skin: Greenfire’s premium and unique blend of all-natural vegetable and soy waxes is vastly saturated with Vitamin E. Use Greenfire candles for their healing purposes. They’re perfect for foot massages. Greenfire’s wax blend is the safest and most luxurious wax on the market. Premium, food-grade ingredients and the wax’s low melting point mean the product is entirely skin-safe and warm to the touch. The vitamin E will absorb into skin, leaving it luxuriously soft and fully renewed. The uses of Greenfire Candles are endless! Light before you get in the shower, then use it on your feet, elbows, and/or legs afterward. Keep a small candle in your purse and use the unmelted wax as lip balm or to soothe mosquito bites. Light one to set a mood, then use the wax with your partner to trade massages. Have a spa party and light several scents, letting each participant try their favorite after a manicure or pedicure. Or simply use them to lightly and perfectly scent a room, knowing the wax and lead-free wick are safe and toxin-free, unlike petroleum-based paraffin candles or other candles that use lead in the wicks. Please read instructions on the bottom of the candle prior to use. Size is a 1 fl. ounce candle. Burn time: One ounce burns about 8 to 10 hours. Tins are made from partially recycled materials.
