Tips
- Use only candle approved dyes to ensure no toxins will be burnt during use
- Use safe candle fragrance oils to ensure scent is safe for breathing in
- Do not add plant powders, uncertified coloring powders that may be toxic or inhibit burning of flame
- Never shut a candle with water, blow out the fire or cover flame to starve off oxygen
- Using a good quality wick will ensure even flame, low soot and harmful residues
- Make sure any botanical decorations are away from the wick so it will not catch fire
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANDLE MAKING:
-
Glue the wicks to the bottom of the jars/containers.
-
Clip the wick upright with a plastic clip at the top of the jars/containers.
-
Heat wax direct over a low fire or in a double boiler.
-
Be careful not to overheat the wax.
-
Stir occasionally (overheated wax will discolour and/or burn your wax).
-
Remove wax from fire and allow the wax to cool down for 5 minutes.
-
Add colour to your liking. Adding too much colorants can inhibit the burning of the flame so adding less is better then conduct a burn test.
-
At 65°C add in fragrance or essential oil at (Oils will evaporate if the wax is too hot)
-
Stir and mix gently.
-
At 60°C gently pour the wax into jars/containers.
-
Allow the wax to set at room temperature and let it cure for 1-2 days into a crystallized look.
To clean up your tools and pot is to wipe them out with a paper towel and spray a little rubbing alcohol while they are still warm.
We suggest to experiment with a small batch to get the right scent and look for your candle. Add variations by doing different coloured layers or combining different waxes together.

Lilin sawit adalah 100% lilin semulajadi yang diperbuat daripada biji sawit.
Membuat lilin anda sendiri dengan menggunakan lilin sawit adalah begitu mudah dan jimat. Lilin sawit membakar secara perlahan dengan asap lilin yang kurang dan ia mengekalkan bau dan oleh sebab-sebab ini, menjadikan ia sangat sesuai untuk pembuatan lilin batang atau lilin diletakkan dalam bekas.
Lilin sawit sering menjadi lilin pilihan yang popular di kalangan pembuat lilin kerana apabila ia mengeras ia akan menjadi bentuk yang berhablur (crystalline) yang cantik dan juga mesra alam. Lilin sawit ini adalah dalam bentuk serbuk.
Cara-cara untuk menghasilkan lilin:
- Sediakan sumbu dan cetakan lilin anda dengan melekatkan keduanya ke bahagian bawah balang / bekas.
- Kepitkan sumbu lilin secara menegak dengan menggunakan pengetip plastik di bahagian atas balang / bekas
- Panaskan lilin secara langsung dalam kepanasan yang rendah dalam pengukus dua tingkat. Sila berhati-hati supaya lilin tidak dibiarkan terlalu panas. Kacaukan ia sekali-sekala (lilin terlalu panas akan menyebabkan warna bertukar luntur dan / atau lilin anda akan hangus).
- Keluarkan lilin daripada api dan biarkan lilin menyejuk selama 5 minit.
- Tambahkan warna & wangian (fragrance) atau minyak pati (essential oil). (Minyak akan menyejat jika lilin terlalu panas)
- Kacau dan campurkan bahan tambahan secara perlahan-lahan.
- Dengan perlahan-lahan tuangkan lilin ke dalam balang / bekas.
- Biarkan lilin disediakan pada suhu bilik dan biarkan ia menyejuk untuk 1-2 hari menjadi bentuk yang berhablur (crystalline).
Kami mengesyorkan eksperimen dilakukan dengan sejumlah kecil untuk mendapatkan bau yang betul dan memperolehi lilin yang anda kehendaki. Menambah variasi dengan melakukan lapisan-lapisan warna yang berlainan atau campurkankan lilin-lilin yang berbeza bersama-sama.
