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).

Precautions before starting

Before starting, it is advisable to clean and disinfect the work surface and the utensils: the prepared products will go on the skin, it is therefore necessary to avoid any microbial contamination!

Thoroughly clean the BeautyMix. Then, soak a clean cloth in 70° alcohol (available in supermarkets) and use it to disinfect the BeautyMix tank and all the utensils. Let dry.

Clean the work surface and remove objects that could get in the way.

Place a clean paper towel on the work surface, and place the utensils on it. Have available: a clean teaspoon or spatula, and a clean, dry container for pouring the preparation once ready. Wash hands thoroughly.

Preparation
1
Thoroughly disinfect the work surface and the BeautyMix with alcohol and clean paper.
2
Place the flat mixer in the BeautyMix bowl, and place the bowl on the scale. Perform the tare (zero) by pressing the T key.
3
Weigh 30 grams of soy wax into the tank.
31.25 g
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.
31.25 g
7
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. Pour the colored wax into the candle glass - lay flat to create horizontal stripes, or lay tilted in a mug-like cup for angled stripes. Leave the wax to cool in the glass while you continue the rest of the preparation (be patient!!).
8
When the first layer has started to solidify, 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 an additional 30 grams of soy wax into the tank. Add a spoonful of crayon shavings in another color of your choice.
31.25 g
9
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. (relaunch the program as many times as necessary). Pour the colored wax into the candle glass to create a new horizontal or tilted layer, depending on your imagination! Leave this new layer of wax to cool in the glass while you continue the rest of the preparation (more patience!!).
10
When the first layer has started to solidify, 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 add the rest of the soy wax (35 g) and shavings of crayon in the color of your choice.
31.25 g
11
Place the tank back on the BeautyMix base, and press the button 3 times to start the red program until the soy wax has completely melted. (relaunch the program as many times as necessary).
12
Gently pour the wax into the jar, laying flat for this final layer.
13
Wait 30 minutes for the wax to cool a little, and cut the wick to the right height.
14
Once the casting is done, the candle must be allowed to cool to room temperature, and left to rest for 48 hours before you want to use it. This will ensure a perfect hold of the candle!
15
Clean your tank with hot water and soap; Soy wax cleans up easily!
And There you go !
