Adding fragrance oil is one of the most important steps in candle making. For soy wax, using the correct amount ensures your candle smells great without affecting the wax’s burn performance.
Recommended Fragrance Load for Soy Wax
- Standard Ratio: Most soy waxes can hold 6%–10% fragrance oil by weight. This means for 1 pound (16 oz) of soy wax, you can safely add about 0.96–1.6 oz of fragrance oil.
- Strong Scent: If you want a stronger aroma, some high-quality soy waxes allow up to 12%, but it’s important to check the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Adding Fragrance: The best time to add fragrance oil is when the wax has cooled slightly after melting, usually around 55–65°C (130–150°F). Adding it too early or at too high a temperature may cause the scent to evaporate.
Tips for Best Results
- Mix the fragrance oil thoroughly but gently into the melted wax.
- Avoid exceeding the recommended fragrance load, which can cause poor burning or sweating.
- Test small batches to find the ideal scent strength for your candle type.
