Why Make Your Own Aromatherapy Candles?

Homemade candles allow you to control the ingredients, ensuring a clean burn and a beautiful, natural scent. Unlike commercially produced candles that may contain synthetic additives, DIY versions offer a pure and often more potent aroma. The process itself can be a therapeutic ritual, and the finished product makes for a thoughtful, handcrafted gift. For those looking to buy lavender jasmine fragrance oil wholesale, this DIY approach also offers a great way to test the product's potential.

Essential Ingredients You'll Need:

  • Wax: Soy wax or a natural wax blend is recommended for a clean, long-lasting burn.
  • Wicks: Choose cotton or wooden wicks appropriate for your container size.
  • Containers: Heat-safe jars like mason jars or repurposed containers work well.
  • Lavender & Jasmine Fragrance Oil: Our premium blend provides the perfect sweet floral notes.
  • Optional: Candle dye blocks or chips for color, stirring tools, and a thermometer.

Step-by-Step Candle Making:

  1. Prepare Your Containers: Ensure your jars are clean and dry. Secure a wick to the bottom center of each container using a wick sticker or a dab of melted wax. You can also use a chopstick or pencil laid across the top of the jar to keep the wick upright.
  2. Melt the Wax: Carefully melt your chosen wax in a double boiler or a dedicated pouring pot over low heat. Stir occasionally until fully melted. Aim for a temperature around 185°F (85°C) to add your fragrance.
  3. Add Fragrance Oil: Once the wax reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and stir in your Lavender & Jasmine Fragrance Oil. A common starting point is 1 oz of fragrance oil per pound of wax, but adjust to your preference. Ensure it's well combined, as this is key for a strong scent.
  4. Pour the Wax: Allow the wax to cool slightly to around 130-140°F (54-60°C) before carefully pouring it into your prepared containers. This helps prevent cracking and ensures a smooth surface.
  5. Cool and Cure: Let the candles cool completely and harden, typically for several hours or overnight. Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before burning.

Tips for the Best Results:

  • Scent Throw: Ensure you are using the correct fragrance load for your wax type. Our fragrance oils are formulated for excellent scent throw, making them a top choice for the best floral fragrance oil for candles.
  • Troubleshooting: If you notice issues like cracking or frosting, adjust your pouring temperature or cooling process.
  • Natural Aroma: For an enhanced natural aroma, consider using minimal or no dyes.
