Need help

[Samia]

Hello guys, I started my candles business but i still have many problems that keeps happening , one of them is this , can anyone tell me why this white thing appears ?

That white frosting? It happens with wax blends high in Soy. It is the normal wax bloom that happens as the wax cures and goes through temperature changes.  It’s the same phenomenon as with chocolate that gets that hazy bloom.

 

you can help delay bloom with waxes like some paraffin blends. It will take some time to figure out how much is needed and to make sure your melts still work as you like them.  Every addition changes the magic melt points and throw.

Ok first tip. Yours tarted your business too soon and dint work out the problems with your product.

Soy will do that with dyes. If you do not want frosting you need a different wax to work with dye.

If you do a search on wax tarts you can read about different ways to make them with different waxes!

All paraffin or soy mixed with paraffin will give you the best results but you will need to test them in burners.

too hard and they will not melt, too soft and they won’t get out of molds.

I actually made candles before and the result was amazing no frosting, but I changed the soy wax I guess this is the problem. Is it necessary to mix the soy wax with paraffin?

There are two kinds of soy wax. Sox wax made for containers, and soy wax made for pillars. BUT all soy wax without paraffin majority of the time will do that when you add dyes. It will frost.

You can get soy blends with paraffin wax that will work better with dye, or do a all paraffin blend which will handle dye beautifully.

You will need to test. Now for melts you do not want container wax you need like a tart wax, or pillar wax.

You will need to test some of the harder waxes the blends or paraffin and make sure they actually melt in tart warmer.
