Tomato Leaf Candle Recipe

Prepare Your Materials

Before melting the soy wax, ensure all candle containers are clean and ready for filling. Secure the wicks to the bottom center of each container using wick stickers for proper alignment and stability. Also, add a warning label to each jar

Set Up the Double Boiler

Pour approximately 1-2 inches of water into a pot and place it on a stove or hot plate over low heat. Insert an empty pouring pot into a pot positioned over the water to create a safe double-boiler setup.

Melt the Wax and Add Dye

Add 42 oz of 464 soy wax and 5-10 drops of red liquid candle dye into the pouring pot. Gently heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 185°F. Monitor the temperature closely using a thermometer to ensure accuracy. Mix thoroughly once melted.

Cool the Wax

Remove the pouring pot from the heat when the wax reaches 185°F.

Add Fragrance Oil

Once cooled to the proper temperature, incorporate 4.2 oz of Tomato Leaf Fragrance Oil into the wax. Stir the mixture well to ensure the fragrance is evenly distributed.

Pour and Set the Candles

Carefully pour the scented wax into your prepared containers. Immediately center the wicks using wick bars to keep them upright during the cooling process.

Allow to Cure

Let the candles cool and solidify at room temperature, undisturbed, for optimal results. Allow to cure for at least 48 hours.
