ComfortandJoy Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Hi Everyone!  I am looking for a year round bakery scent for my soy candles that is non-yellowing. Am I asking for something that doesn't exist? 🤔 I don't color my candles.  So far, I've tried Tea and Cakes, and it's wonderful, but yellows. I have FC Sugar Cookie Royale but I hear that one yellows too. I know it's the vanillin, but I'm hoping there is something out there that doesn't yellow! I don't currently have any foodie/bakery scents in my candle line.  Thanks so much!  Edited January 29, 2020 by ComfortandJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfintoni Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I honestly do not think you will find one. With most bakery candles there is a high vanilla content and that is what yellows with time. To avoid this I sometimes use an ivory color when pouring them.  Karen in MA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Are you using UV Inhibitor in your wax? This should help with discoloration. I get mine from CS. Edited January 30, 2020 by Candybee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailC Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Usually only Vanilla candles turn yellow for me. And for some reason, Spiced Apples & Peaches. I use UV Inhibitor with any FO's with a high vanilla content.  I can think of lots that I didn't color that didn't turn yellow and didn't add UV inhibitor: Carrot Cake, Cinnamon Bun, Banana Nut Bread, Apple Cider Donut to name a few. Maybe when it's a spicy bakery scent, they don't turn yellow. (except spiced apples & peaches from FB) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahmarah Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 So far CS’s Blueberry Cobbler gave me the worst  discoloring. Made my 464 look like lemon curd.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious to try it in my soy because I’m striving for a more uniform white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will help keep your wax from changing color from various FOs and improve the uniformity. Especially from exposure to harsh lighting and indirect sunlight. (Always keep your candles out of direct sunlight if you do outdoor venues.) That's why candlemakers who color and those who prefer not to color both can benefit from using UV Inhibitor. Just make sure you follow directions when using for best results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
