Kopari Coconut Melt 2.5OZ/75ml

Product Information

Another great pro of using coconut wax candles is that they are slow-burning. This means that the candle will last for a few hours. The best part is that the candle has the ability to hold scents and aromas for longer too. So not only will the candle burn longer but it’ll produce an aroma for a longer duration too. Bad breath generally results from a buildup of bacteria in the mouth. This may be related to poor oral hygiene, infection, or gum disease. I’m personally a fan of these silicone break-apart molds because they create professional looking wax melts that are perfect for gifting. And when you’re done you can also use them in the kitchen or for homemade bath and body projects.

The addition of coconut oil has been used to soften the wax, allowing it to be easily scooped from the jar and in testing, found a 30% coconut oil to 70% EcoSoya CB-Advanced ratio to work well. If you use a different kind of wax melt wax, you may need to play with the ratios a little to find what consistency works best for you. A 10% oil to wax ratio is ideal, meaning if you use ½ cup of melted soy wax, you’ll need about 1 tablespoon of essential oil. But even that might not be enough to give you much of a scent, depending on the brand. Now that we’ve covered what a coconut wax candle is, let’s jump straight into the pros of owning one. Paraffin wax is by far one of the most commonly used waxes when it comes to making candles. This is mainly because it is relatively inexpensive to produce. It also holds a high amount of fragrance and color, so many different types of candles can be produced using it. Read on to know more about the different kinds of wax, followed by a small tutorial on how to use a double boiler to melt wax at home. Table Of Contents

Like our other Rapeseed waxes and melts, 4119 has excellent sustainability credentials and is vegetarian and vegan friendly. Many other types of waxes require mass production which unfortunately destroys the environment and leads to a natural decline. Paraffin wax and palm wax are particularly known for their unsustainable production process. The coconut wax candle, however, isn’t associated with deforestation. With scoopable wax becoming ever more popular, we hope you enjoyed our tutorial and learned how easy it can be to create your own. Beeswax has been around forever, at least as long as bees have been in existence. Some historians have spotted the use of beeswax even in pyramids. It is revered in the candle-making process because it is 100% natural. Beeswax is a byproduct of the honey-making process and is, therefore, found in beehives. This wax is filtered and made commercially suitable before it reaches you, the candle-maker. For a long time since the 19th century, the only wax candle-makers knew about was paraffin. Thanks to many innovations, now you have a lot of different options. The kind of wax you buy depends on the type of candle you wish to make, whether you want your wax to be natural or synthetic, and the melt melting point you will be working with.

If you're new to the world of scented wax melts, the idea may take a while to warm up to (see what I did there?). At least it might if you're a certified candle-obsessed weirdo like me. Unlike candles, wax melts don’t require an open flame to melt the wax. Instead, they use a wax warmer to gently heat the soy wax just enough to melt it and diffuse the scent throughout your home. While you don’t get that pretty, candlelit ambiance, no flame means no fire hazard or worrying about small hands.You may have come across paraffin in most stores as they have traditionally been most commonly used in candle-making. Paraffin has been always preferred because of its versatility, and so, it can be molded into any shape, to make anything you desire. Turn on your warmer and let it sit for several minutes to melt the wax. If there’s a lot of melted wax, pour it an empty aluminum can and let it cool before throwing it away. Then take a paper towel and, being careful not to burn yourself, wipe out any waxy residue left in the warmer bowl. When compared to other waxes such as paraffin or soy, it has the cleanest burn. It produces nearly zero soot which is not only environmentally friendly, but you can be assured that it won’t damage any surfaces that it’s burnt on. When the jar is filled, take a little red glitter and sprinkle it on top of the wax. It doesn’t matter if some sinks to the bottom, but you’ll need to ensure that there’s a good covering on top. There’s something about hopping out of the shower that makes me feel so rejuvenated and relaxed. Whenever I step out of my tub, I try to remember to rub my tried-and-true CeraVe body cream all over. Sometimes I honestly can’t be bothered, but the times when I do follow through with this routine, I feel at my best when my skin is glistening and my arms and legs are as soft as a baby’s bottom.
