Instructions - do-it-yourself soy candle! Is the game worth the candles?

Candles have been a constant attribute of human dwellings for hundreds of years. Previously, they were used as the main source of lighting. Fortunately, today most of humanity uses electricity for this. But candles have become an object of coziness, romance and a great way to aromatize the room. The production of soy candles, like any other, is not limited to industrial frameworks and today you can find many handmade products on the market. In principle, anyone who is interested in this topic or has a desire to do it yourself can try their hand at this process. In this material, we will introduce you a little to the topic of making soy candles and tell you why we consider this type of wax to be the best.

Why do we choose soy wax?

Today it is worth considering soy wax not simply as an unusual alternative to beeswax and even more so not as an alternative to paraffin. This is a separate product, which by its qualities and properties significantly surpasses its "competitors". It is a completely natural and safe component, which has a hundred percent plant origin. The nature of its production is completely renewable, and accordingly no harm is done to the ecology and the population of plants and animals. Soy wax in the process of operation behaves much better, if you can say so. It has a longer burning time than bee wax, for example. Does not release substances harmful to health, like paraffin. It also has a high ability to retain aromas. Such candles for aromatherapy are the best solution. This is exactly the case when the room literally dissolves in a pleasant composition of aromas.

How are soy candles made?

We know all about it! Our candles have been present on the market of Ukraine for several years and delight their owners. We have created a unique collection of fragrances that will suit all occasions - from a working atmosphere to creating a romantic or passionate evening. And we confidently declare that making soy candles is not a simple process at all. This is real magic and science in one person. It will be quite difficult to reproduce a work of art at home, but to play with the materials and make a trial copy with your own hands - quite.

A recipe for making a candle at home

This, of course, is not confectionery art, but you will definitely need patience and knowledge of the technological process. But, as in cooking, here the result also depends not only on the process, but also on the ingredients. The better they are, the better the result you will get. For your attention, the simplest home recipe, you can involve children in its reproduction:

• measure 100 g of high-quality soy wax and carefully melt it in a water bath
• you will need a container for a candle (made of natural materials, of course, for example, glass). A wax wick must be attached to the bottom of the container. If you don't have it, you can also try to make it yourself. For this, you will need a cotton thread, which is completely immersed in the wax and then allowed to completely harden
• the wick must be fixed so that inside the container it is located absolutely vertically in a stretched state
• when the wax has cooled a little, but is still quite warm, we add aromas to it. This is where the real magic begins, which is quite difficult to master at home. You can use essential oils. But remember that those that we see on the shelves of cosmetic stores and pharmacies are not a natural product and do not stand out in quality. When making soy candles, we use high-quality and natural products, real ethers cost tens and sometimes hundreds of times more than what we are used to seeing for mass consumption.
• pour our mixture into a container, wait for it to solidify and enjoy

In general, this is a very interesting process for which, however, you will have to first find and purchase high-quality components. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with our soy candles, choose the aroma according to your mood and enjoy the finished product, which was created especially for you!
