Recipe: Invigorating Pine and Cedar Wax Melts
Create simple, strong-scented wax melts that offer an excellent hot throw, perfect for diffusers and burners, featuring the Pine Fragrance Oil.
Ingredients:
-
One hundred grams Soy Wax (416 or 464) (Wax Base)
-
Eight milliliters Pine Fragrance Oil (Primary Scent)
-
Two milliliters Cedarwood Fragrance Oil (Blending Note)
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step: Use a digital scale to weigh the Soy Wax (100 grams). Place the wax into a pouring pitcher and gently melt the wax in a double boiler until it is completely liquid.
Second Step: Monitor the temperature using a wax thermometer. Remove the molten wax from the heat when it reaches approximately eighty degrees Celsius (80°C).
Third Step: Allow the wax to cool naturally to the recommended temperature for fragrance addition, typically around sixty-five to seventy degrees Celsius (65°C to 70°C).
Fourth Step: Weigh and add the Pine Fragrance Oil (8 grams) and the Cedarwood Fragrance Oil (2 grams). Use a stainless steel stirring rod to mix the wax and fragrance blend thoroughly for two full minutes.
Fifth Step: Slowly pour the scented wax into your wax melt silicone mold cavities. Allow the melts to cool undisturbed until they are completely solidified (several hours or overnight).
Recommendations for Application and Storage:
-
Fragrance Load: This recipe utilizes a 10% total fragrance load, which is the maximum safe load for many soy waxes, ensuring a powerful hot throw suitable for wax melts. Always verify the maximum load recommended by your specific wax supplier.
-
Storage: Store the finished wax melts in a cool, dark, and airtight container to prevent the pine scent from evaporating over time, maintaining the cold throw.
-
Blending: For a sweeter holiday scent, consider substituting the Cedarwood with notes of Cranberry or a hint of Vanilla fragrance oil.
