Why Soy Wax Makes Peach Scented Candles Smell Better?

Soy wax comes from a renewable source (hydrogenated soybean oil). Soy wax candles produce cleaner burns. They hardly emit any toxic pollutants, unlike paraffin wax candles.

Due to this, the scent is stronger as the other toxic emissions do not interfere with the scent throw.

They also burn for 50-70% longer time than paraffin wax candles. Longer burn times imply longer fragrances. We manufacture our peach soy wax candles from 100% soy wax to ensure better fragrance and quality.

Process of Making Peach Scented Candles

Take the wax flakes in a pot and heat them over medium heat. Keep stirring the wax with a wooden stirrer.

Add a candle dye to the molten wax to give the desired color. We usually use peach-colored dye or orange-colored dye for peach soy candles.

Remove the wax from the heat source. Measure the temperature of the wax using a thermometer to make sure that the temperature of the wax is less than the flashpoint of the fragrance oils. This step must be done before you add any fragrance oil.

Add fragrance oil to the molten wax. Add the fragrance oil according to your requirement of how strong the scent should be. The general rule of thumb is to add 0.5 ounces of fragrance oil per pound of wax for optimal scent throw.

Add the fragrance oil of peach scent or the blend of peach and other scents and stir it for two minutes to mix it in the wax uniformly.

Place a wick in each glass jar. Ensure that the wick is longer than the glass jar in which you are going to pour the wax. Tape the wick to the bottom of the glass jar using a wick tab.

Hold the wick in place by tying it to a wooden chopstick or a pencil. Pour the molten wax into the glass jar.

Pour the wax into the glass jars with utmost precision to ensure the best quality of each candle. Let the wax cool down for 30 minutes to one hour. Trim the wick to one-fourth of an inch with the wick clipper.

Ensure that each candle is cured for at least three days before use.
