Soy Wax (KeraSoy Pillar blend)

The original soy wax is quite soft, especially if you use a silicone mold and the candle stands on its own. That is why we switched to the KeraSoy Pillar Blend 4120, a soy-based blend, specially formulated for making so-called pillar candles and candles that you make with a silicone mold. This wax can also be mixed well with (oil-soluble) dyes and fragrances.

KeraSoy is made in England and is biodegradable, vegan friendly and free from palm oil. A natural and healthy alternative to paraffin. A soy wax candle becomes less hot and burns longer than a paraffin candle.

Making (scented) candles

• Choose a nice jar in which you want to make your candle, preferably a jar that can withstand heat. Or use a silicone mold.
• Depending on the contents of your chosen jar, melt the soy wax in the au bain marie way. You can do this with a melting pan.
• Place the candle wick in your jar/pierce it through the silicone mold. If necessary, stick it to the bottom of your jar, using a little bit of melted soy wax on the bottom of the candle wick.
• Carefully pour the melted soy wax into your glass and let it solidify.

TIP: Give your candle some extra sparkle by adding some mica powder.

Has your candle burnt out yet? Remove the remaining piece of the candle wick from the jar and fill the jar with (boiling) hot water. The soy wax will heat up and float to the top. Leave the jar for a while. The water cools down, the soy wax solidifies again and lies on top of the water, so that you can easily remove the last remnants of wax. Wipe your jar clean and you can make a new candle in it.
