Recipe: High-Throw Citrus Energy Candle
Craft a vibrant, energizing soy wax candle designed to maximize the powerful aroma of the Citrus Storm Fragrance Oil.
Ingredients:
-
Ninety grams Soy Wax (Base)
-
Ten milliliters Citrus Storm Fragrance Oil (Scent Load)
-
One unit Medium-Sized Wick (Appropriate for vessel diameter)
-
One unit Glass Jar or Tin (Vessel)
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step: Weigh out the Soy Wax (90 grams) using a digital scale and melt it in a dedicated pouring pitcher on a double boiler. Monitor the temperature closely.
Second Step: Heat the wax until it is fully liquid and reaches approximately eighty degrees Celsius (80°C). Remove the pitcher from the heat source.
Third Step: Allow the wax to cool naturally until it reaches the optimal pouring/fragrance addition temperature, typically between sixty to sixty-five degrees Celsius (60°C – 65°C). Weigh and add the Citrus Storm Fragrance Oil (10 grams, which equates to a high 10% load) and stir gently for two minutes to bind the oil with the wax molecules.
Fourth Step: Secure the wick to the bottom of the vessel and stabilize it at the top using a wick holder or two pencils. Slowly pour the scented wax into the container.
Fifth Step: Allow the candle to cool completely and cure for a minimum of 48 hours before the first burn.
Recommendations for Application and Storage:
-
Maximum Scent Load: This recipe utilizes a 10% fragrance load for an intense aroma, which is near the maximum recommended for most natural waxes. Always verify the maximum scent load specific to your chosen wax type.
-
Curing is Essential: The curing period (48 hours up to one week) allows the fragrance oil to fully bind with the wax, significantly improving the hot throw upon burning.
-
Wick Trimming: Before lighting, trim the wick to about six millimeters (0.6 cm) using a specialized wick trimmer to ensure a clean, steady, and smoke-free burn.
