Candle Wax & Kits

Candle making is more than a hobby or craft. It is an ancient tradition that has been practiced for centuries. For those looking to join this tradition, a beginner’s candle making kit is just the thing you need! These kits come with all the required tools and ingredients, including wax, scents, wicks, and more!

The type of candle wax you choose has a major effect on your candle. Paraffin wax is the most common. It is easy to work with and throws fragrance well.

Soy wax has a longer, cleaner burn time than paraffin. Combined with its lower melting point, this makes it great for container candles and blending with other waxes.

Beeswax burns longer and cleaner than paraffin or soy wax, and it boasts a naturally sweet scent. Palm wax, featuring a harder consistency and a high melting point, is commonly used for pillar candles. Coconut wax, on the other hand, is soft and burns slowly. It is often blended with other waxes for increased firmness and burn time.

Wicks & Fragrance Oils

Once you’ve chosen a wax, it’s time to decide on a scent. Shop our variety of fragrance oils to find the perfect aroma for your candle. Or, create it yourself by blending the oils of your choice together.

Like waxes, different candle wicks offer a variety of appearances and properties for your candle. A wood wick provides a rustic look and creates a pleasant crackling sound as it burns. Cotton wicks are common and provide a classic candle aesthetic.
