Learn how to make beautiful soy candles from home...
Do you enjoy creating things or learning new hobbies? Have you been frustrated with the quality of store bought candles? Come have fun with us with making your own soy and other natural wax candles.
Learn the techniques that took years to master in handcrafting beautiful soy candles whether you want to start your own business or to give away to family & friends as gifts. You will have fun learning how to make soy pillar/votive candles (a higher melt point & hard soy wax) and container candles (a lower melt point & soft wax).
WHAT IS SOY WAX?
Soybean wax, often referred to simply as “soy wax,” is produced with hydrogenated soybean oil. In 1993, inventor Michael Reynolds discovered it as he was looking for a cheaper alternative to beeswax. It was the first innovation in the candle industry for over a hundred years. Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from the oils of soybeans. After harvesting, the beans are cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the flakes and hydrogenated. The hydrogenation process converts some of the fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated. This process dramatically alters the melting point of the oil, making it a solid at room temperature.
Soy candles burn cleaner, longer and are virtually soot free when wick trimming is properly maintained compared to the leading traditional paraffin candles. Soy wax can be easily cleaned up with just soap and warm water.
