GoldieMN Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 New shop asked me to make a blue candle and a pink candle for a signature line. I use C1 soy, clear jars, and small amount of liquid dye. The wax is turning orange in both fragrances. I THINK it started happening when she moved them into a window which has a see-thru plastic shade. Not sure if she had them in fluorescent lights at some time. My question is, is this normal? Will using a UV prohibitor completely take care of the problem? GoldieMN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 UV inhibitor may help, but it does not always solve the whole problem. A lot depends on the dye itself, and the fragrance combo chemical reactions with the rest of the candle. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldieMN If it is a reaction between the dye and the fragrance, would it be something that may be evident if a little bit of each was placed in a vial together (just wondering). Also curious if there is any vanillin in the fragrance oil and if so, if that could be a culprit ...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
