Plant Essential Oil:

If wax is the cornerstone and the value of the face, then aromatherapy essential oil deserves to be the whole soul. So it is crucial to choose the right aromatherapy essential oil. But for laymen, buying essential oils is the biggest challenge.

First, it is difficult to buy pure plant essential oils because the essential oils on the Internet are mixed with true and false, which is difficult to distinguish

Second, it is expensive, especially high-purity essential oils;

Third, the essential oil melted into high wax liquid is easy to volatilize, which requires high production skills, otherwise it will be wasted;

One type of essential oils smell monotonous, good smell requires compound fragrance, a skill only grasped by professional players.

So if you are a novice and have no strict requirements for essential oils, you can also start with candle essence.

Candle Materials:

• Wax core, wax core has cotton and wood. Wood is selected for face value, and cotton core is recommended for use. Because the purchase of wood cores is uneven, most of them will have a little sound when burning, and the wood will have peculiar smell if it is not good. After burning for a long time, black sawdust will fall into the wax pool, which is not beautiful after solidification.

• Wax is the most important raw material for making aromatherapy candles, which can be divided into natural wax and artificial wax.

• Artificial wax is made from paraffin, minerals and polymers extracted from petroleum. Paraffin has food grade (non-toxic) and industrial grade (toxic). Now most players value health and are unwilling to buy paraffin.

• Natural waxes include soybean wax, beeswax, coconut wax and so on.

• Soybean wax: Soybean wax is a common wax in aromatherapy candles. Bad soybean wax will have certain impurities, but because it is plant wax, it has no adverse effects on human body. It is more common, and the price is more common, so you can try it.

• Beeswax: Beeswax is a relatively environmentally friendly wax. 100% pure beeswax candles can purify the air when burning, so beeswax candles are called "aristocrats" in candles. Usually we choose it to mix with other waxes to improve hardness and smoothness.

• Coconut wax: Candles made with coconut wax are mild and harmless to human body. Coconut wax itself will be more expensive than soybean wax, so the price will be higher. In pursuit of quality, you usually choose to try this

• Soybean wax is soft, and beeswax can increase firmness. For example, beeswax can be added to a long columnar candle, which can increase hardness and is not easy to break, and at the same time, it will prolong the burning time. Usually, people will mix and use it 1: 1.

• Dried flowers: There are two kinds of dried flowers, one is prototype dried flowers, which are directly dehydrated to maintain three-dimensional prototype; There is also a flower, that is, a flat flower

• Candle stain (alcohol stain, oily stain, powder, paste, granule and rod)

The common dyes in the market are solid and liquid, which are similar to each other. To make light-colored candles, put less dyes, especially filamentous dyes, and only need a little to fully color them.

The production process:

1. Pour wax raw materials into a small pot and prepare to heat.
2. Heat the raw materials with an electric furnace.
3. Turn off the heating furnace when the wax raw material is about to melt completely, and use the retained heat to melt the wax raw material completely
4. After the wax liquid cools down, add a proper amount of aromatherapy essential oil
5. Slowly pour the wax liquid into a bubble candle mould or silicon candle making mold and insert it into the candle core.
6. Wait patiently for the wax liquid to solidify completely, and cut off the excess candle core with scissors.
