Recipe
Our candle recipe is composed of:
Soy wax: 100% vegetable wax, biodegradable and vegan. It is very easy to handle and cast. It perfectly restores the fragrance in the room. It is an ecological solution for your health and your home.
Dyes: To color your candle or create patterns, use shavings of chalk in the color of your choice. These shavings can be easily obtained by sharpening the chalk with a pencil sharpener.
Usage
You can use your candle after allowing it to cool to room temperature and sit for 48 hours. This ensures a perfect hold of the candle!
Personalize your candle:
You can use dye mixed with hemp oil or greasy chalk shavings to color your candle. You can also use dried flowers to decorate your candle.
Precaution for use: if you want to use other EO to scent your candles, be careful not all of them are suitable for use in candles. (risk of diffusion of harmful compounds).

4
Place the tank on the base of the BeautyMix, and press the button 3 times to launch the red program until the soy wax has completely melted.
5
Place the wick in the center of the candle glass (holding it with a clothespin if necessary) and pour in the melted wax. This step fixes the wick to the bottom of the glass, and prevents it from moving. Allow the wax to cool in the glass while you continue the rest of the preparation.
6
Put the tank back on the scale, placing the lid BETWEEN the tank and the scale to prevent the heat from interfering with the weighing. Press T to reset the scale to 0, then weigh 30 grams of soy wax into the tank again. Add a spoonful of crayon shavings in the color of your choice.

Leave the wax to cool in the glass while you continue the rest of the preparation (be patient!!).
