Kopari Coconut Melt 2.5OZ/75ml

Product Information

Use immediately, OR (our preferred) make ahead and chill for 4 hours + where it will firm up even more! Cons: Blended wax does not give your candle a unique look as opposed to one-ingredient wax such as beeswax or soy wax. Rapeseed Wax Aroy-D– 10/10– amazingly fluffy when scooped out – little liquid on the bottom. Whips like a dream – guar free!

Below is a list of at what temperature different types of waxes melt. Melting Point For Different Types Of Wax Type Of Wax Take the melting pot off the pan as soon as the wax has melted, wiping the underneath carefully with a tea towel. Once the wax reaches 65 degrees Celsius, add the fragrance oil and mica powder mixture.Peedikayil, F. C., et al. (2016). Comparison of antibacterial efficacy of coconut oil and chlorhexidine on Streptococcus mutans: An in vivostudy. If you are wanting to use it to decorate a cake or cupcakes, please note that it is delicious, but doesn’t do well at room temperature (2 hours is probably the maximum it would be able to keep). For best results, we suggest making it and then refrigerating overnight. Frost your cake/cupcakes the next day and keep them in the fridge until ready to serve. Fragrance should be added at 60-65°c and stirred well. Fragrance compatibility should be tested as some may separate out when cooled. A final con of owning a coconut wax candle is that it is more expensive than a common paraffin candle. The cost to produce coconut wax is relatively expensive and due to its low melting point, it has to be combined with other waxes. Ultimately, this makes it more expensive. Many other types of waxes require mass production which unfortunately destroys the environment and leads to a natural decline. Paraffin wax and palm wax are particularly known for their unsustainable production process. The coconut wax candle, however, isn’t associated with deforestation.

The higher the fragrance load, the greater likelihood of fragrance leaching, so testing is recommended. Good results have been achieved at 8% fragrance load. The wax is also sustainable and is comprised of organic and renewable materials. This means that it has a minimal environmental impact. The wax is also biodegradable as fewer coconuts are needed to make a candle. Note: As we’ve used a container wax, you may notice that the edges of the wax inside the jar appear to ‘frost’ over time. This is completely normal and is simply down to the addition of colour in the wax and varying temperatures from the jar being stored whilst curing and not in use. For a long time since the 19th century, the only wax candle-makers knew about was paraffin. Thanks to many innovations, now you have a lot of different options. The kind of wax you buy depends on the type of candle you wish to make, whether you want your wax to be natural or synthetic, and the melt melting point you will be working with.

How to make wax melts

This wax has a variety of melting points; however, it isn’t regarded as very environmentally friendly. The process to produce paraffin has an array of negative environmental effects and it isn’t a clean burner. Pour in the wax, then, twist the mold side to side to evenly disperse it.
