 Beeswax - A white refined beeswax that comes in a pellet form. The purest beeswax available. The addition of beeswax to candle formulas increases the pliability of the wax, the candles burn time, and will improve the burning quality. |
Stearic Acid - The most common candle making additive. It will increase the candles' hardness and strength. Acts as an opacifier, so you may want to decrease or eliminate from certain candle types. Should not be used with rubber mold materials- it acts as a caustic. Should not be used with copper- it acts as an oxidizer. *** Use 3-5 % by weight. Has a melting point of 160 degrees F. |

 Dye Buds - The neat and clean alternative to candle coloring. Easy to measure and mixes completely. You will get a consistent color from batch to batch. Combine buds to create your own colors. (Remember to take good notes, that way you'll be sure to remember your favorite combinations).*** Each bud colors 11 pounds of wax to a medium tone. We are in the process of changing from buds to diamonds. We will ship diamonds equivalent to a candle bud if we are out of a particular color. |
