Frequently asked questions

How much fragrance oil per pound of wax?

At an 8% fragrance load, use approximately 1.28 ounces of fragrance oil per pound of wax.

What fragrance load should I use for soy candles?

Most soy waxes perform best between 6% and 10% fragrance load depending on the manufacturer's recommendation and fragrance oil strength.

How do I price handmade candles?

Add material cost, packaging cost, labor, and overhead, then multiply by 2 to 2.5 for retail pricing depending on your market position.

What wax holds fragrance the best?

Paraffin and coconut blends typically produce the strongest scent throw, while soy produces a softer but cleaner fragrance experience.

How long should candles cure before selling?

Most container candles benefit from curing 3 to 14 days depending on wax type and fragrance oil composition.
