NatureWax C-3 - soy wax

The wax is suitable both for making completely natural container candles and for making massage candles, which are becoming increasingly popular these days. The combination of soy wax with quality base oils and/or natural butters (shea, cocoa,…) and selected essential oils results in such a low melting point that they can be safely used in their melted state directly on the skin for what is known as a hot oil massage.

This wax comes in flakes, which makes it easy to handle. For the best final finish of this wax, we recommend pouring at 71ºC (±5º). However, you may need to do additional testing to find the best pouring temperature for your conditions. NatureWax C-3 has good adhesion to containers, which can be improved, especially during winter months, by preheating the jars.

For this soy wax, we recommend preheating the jars before pouring the wax to achieve a better finish. Also allow the wax to cool slowly.

TIP: once the wax is fully melted, we recommend reducing the heat to allow it to cool to 50ºC-70°C. This will reduce cracking and discoloration.

The wax has not been tested on animals, is completely vegan-friendly, and is made from sustainable sources.

As it is dermatologically tested, it can be safely used in massage candles.
Melting point: + 45°C.
Maximum heating temperature: +71.1ºC - 93.3°C
Recommended pouring temperature: ± 48.9 °C ±73.8 °C.

Leave to cure for 2 weeks. A single pour is usually sufficient, but as it contracts slightly upon solidifying, good adhesion to the container walls can be achieved by preheating the containers before pouring and allowing the wax to solidify slowly inside them.

RECIPE

MASSAGE CANDLE
Ingredients:

80 grams of wax
1 teaspoon of shea butter
2 teaspoons of avocado oil
20 - 50 drops of essential oil of your choice (depending on how intense a scent you want)

Instructions: Attach the wick to the bottom of a small glass jar. Melt the wax, shea butter, and avocado oil over steam. Stir the ingredients continuously. Once melted, add the essential oils. Pour the mixture into the jar and wait for it to solidify. The wick must be centered in the candle.

Use: Light the candle and wait 5 to 10 minutes. Drip the melted wax onto your hands and begin the massage.
