Aromatherapy candles add atmosphere and warmth to any environment. Just change the color and aroma to easily customize the theme of the next special event or festival celebration.
If you have never made or used aromatherapy candles before, please note the following steps.
In this tutorial, we chose our sponge dye block and sea mist essential oil to create a refreshing summer atmosphere.
Note: we need a second pouring for the aromatherapy wax the next day. Be sure to take it into account in your process.

Additional items required:

Double boiler or hot plate
A spatula or spoon used to stir wax
Topical alcohol
tissue
Paper cup and marker
Operation steps

The first step. Prepare your supplies and work area
Before you start, make sure your work area is free of excess items and ready to make you cunning.

Now we will measure our wax and fragrance. Weigh 1 pound of IGI 4794 volatile blend wax using a digital scale and set it aside. Then weigh 1 ounce of sea mist sesame oil and set aside. Wipe the candle cup mold with a small amount of external alcohol and clean paper towel or lint free cloth. Next, center a candle wick pin in each mold.

Step 2. Melt and add fragrance
Start melting a pound of wax you put on a double pot or hot plate. While waiting for the wax to melt, separate the number of sepiolite dye blocks you want to use for the candle cup. We recommend using 1 / 4 pieces per pound of wax in this project, but you can adjust it up or down according to the shadow you want to achieve.

Once the wax has completely melted, add the dye block and stir gently but thoroughly until the color is dispersed throughout the wax. Once the wax reaches 185 º F, add the fragrance you measured earlier and remove it from the fire. Gently stir for about two minutes.

Step three. Pour the wax into the mold
When the wax reaches 175 º F, it is time for the first dumping. Slowly, pour the melted wax on the edge of each candle cup mold.

Aromatherapy candle wax shrinks when it cools and needs to be poured again the next day.Pour the remaining wax into a paper cup marked with wax type, flavor and date. Allow to set.When you are ready for the second pour, please pick up the labeled paper cup and tear off the paper.

Put the solid wax into the pouring tank and reheat until it reaches 190 º F. This higher temperature will help the wax adhere better to the solid cooled candle cup. Carefully pour wax to fill the remaining space and any sunken holes formed in the voting up to the edge of the die. Let the contents of the candle cup cool completely.

Step four. Remove the offering from the mold and add the wick
Gently pull the wick pins to remove them from the mold. Professional tip: the candle cup should fall off easily. If not, put them in the refrigerator for no more than a few minutes to shrink the wax.

After removing the candle from the mold, turn it over and press or tap the top of the wick pin until it is released. Important: be sure not to perform this step on potentially damaged surfaces. Replace each wick pin with lx-14 prefabricated wicks and trim to approximately 1 / 4 ".
