🔬 Why Luxury Soy Wax?

Luxury Soy wax is beginner-friendly, toxin-free, and holds fragrance well. It burns longer and cleaner, making your candles feel high-end from Day 1.

🧪 Avoid paraffin if you’re making wellness or gift candles. Luxury Soy wax is safer and more popular among Indian customers.

🕯️ Step-by-Step Candle Making Process 

1. Melt the Wax

  • Use a double boiler method or you can buy our mini wax melter here!
  • Heat until fully melted (~80°C to 90°C)

2. Prep the Jars

  • Stick the wick to center using sticker
  • Hold in place with wick holder

3. Add Fragrance & Dye

  • Let wax cool slightly (~65°C)
  • Add fragrance oil and stir for 60 seconds
  • Add a small pinch of dye if using

4. Pour the Wax

  • Slowly pour wax into jars
  • Leave 1cm gap at the top

5. Let It Set & Cure

  • Let candles sit undisturbed for 24–48 hours
  • Cure for full scent development

6. Trim Wick & Label

🎁 Candle Styles You Can Create Under ₹4999

📸 Want them to look fancy? Pour into glass jars, keep labels clean, and photograph in natural light.

🎯 What to Avoid When on a Budget

  • Start small by buying fragrance oils in small quantities. We offer fragrances as low as 15 grams. They can be found here. 
  • Using multiple pouring jugs. Instead buy a mini wax melter, which eliminates the need of multiple pouring jugs and also comes with an inbuilt spout for a clean and dripless pour. 
  • Skipping tools like thermometer (temp matters!)
  • Choosing random wicks, eco wicks are the best when it comes to making candles (our wicks are tested across multiple waxes and can save your batch)

✅ All our kits use tested formulas built for Indian climate, jars, and ingredients.

📸 How to Make It Look Expensive (Even if It’s Budget)

  • Stick to a color palette (white wax + gold or black labels)
  • Use minimal fonts (Canva or our free template)
  • Batch your photos in natural light near a window
  • Always trim wick before photos

💡 Looks matter. Beautiful candles = higher perceived value = repeat buyers.
