Rapeseed wax

Which rapeseed wax should I choose?

It depends on the type of candle you want to make. For container candles, it is best to use a softer wax that adheres well to the container. For moulded candles, you need a firmer wax that makes demoulding easier and holds its shape.

Is rapeseed wax 100% plant-based?

Yes, rapeseed wax is plant-based and is made from the oil of the rapeseed plant. It is a natural, vegan option with no petroleum-derived ingredients.

Is it suitable for both container and moulded candles?

Yes, but it is important to use the right type. There are specific formulations for containers and others for moulds, as each application requires different properties in terms of hardness and how the wax behaves as it cools.

Is it compatible with fragrances and dyes?

Yes, rapeseed wax has excellent fragrance retention and works well with most candle dyes. It allows both scent and colour to be distributed evenly.

Which wick should I use with rapeseed wax?

The choice of wick depends on the diameter of the container or mould. Generally, rapeseed wax works well with standard wicks, but it is advisable to carry out tests to fine-tune the burn.

What should I bear in mind when buying rapeseed wax?

Make sure it is 100% plant-based and choose the right type for your use (container or mould). You should also consider its compatibility with fragrances and the final finish you want to achieve.
