Simple Candle Formula for Beginners

Join me as we unravel the secrets of candle making. I'm here to share practical tips, formulas, and ideas that actually work, making candle making a breeze.

If you've ever felt frustrated trying to figure out the right combination of waxes and wicks for your candles, look no further – this video is your solution! I've tested various formulas and stumbled upon one that helped me earn over $250,000 in just a year. When I started my candle business, I aimed to master the craft and understand the science behind it. Armed with this knowledge, I consistently create successful candle formulas.

Disclaimer: The formula I originally used involved blending coconut and soy wax. However, due to significant price increases since 2019, this method became cost-inefficient. The formula I share in this video is my current go-to, offering the same amazing results.

FORMULA + LINKS

This formula will fill 8-9 straight-sided tumblers from Candle Science. The amount will vary based on the amount of fragrance oil you use.

74 oz- 454 Wax
8-10 oz Fragrance Oil
This recipe will make about eight, 8.5-9oz candles

The amount of fragrance oil you use will vary based on the type of fragrance. For a quality hot throw, I recommend 9-10 oz for most fragrances. The scent throw you will get from this formula is pleasant-strong (If that's a word). :)

The wick size can vary based on the fragrance you use, but an Eco 10 or 12 usually work best.

ALWAYS test your candles, before selling or giving away!

BONUS: You can find most of these items in a candle making kit from major suppliers. These kits provide a working candle formula, saving you from reinventing the wheel. Check out Cierra Candle's Candle Making kit, which uses Soy wax and HTP Wicks for a different recipe.
