That is a simple way but doing the math is more exact for consistency. The wax is one thing that needs to be added to the jar but the fragrance oil is another factor. However just for trying to figure things out this works as well. I hate math but once i figured it out i was like bingo so i can have consistency in all my candles for testing, mistakes and etc

Easier way with no water: Fill your container with dry wax pellets to full, then melt them and add, it will be not quite full because of air pockets. No need to make this complicated. Once your candle has solidified weigh it and subtract the weight of thr empty jar to get your wax wight for next time. A few drops of scent is negligent and wont make much difference, but you can add its weight too if you must.

You could have taken the 13.5 ounces and multiplied that by 0.9 and that would give you the amount of wax. 13.5×0.9=12.15. 0.9 is the difference of weight from water to wax(density). So you had extra wax left over doing it this way. You can take any jar fill it with water then multiply that by 0.9 and that will give you your wax amount for that specific jar.

I have wax that I messed up on the FO so I placed it in old soap silicone molds to have on hand for this. I take that wax, melt the ounces according to what manufacturer says fits into the container, place container on the scale & pour the wax up to the proper fill line and that is how I find out how much wax each container will hold. Since that wax already has FO I know it's precise. I pour the wax back into the silicone mold to harden again for another day of testing & clean out the container unless I am using it for burn testing.

Example I know my fill weight is 220g but if I need to make 1 candle for a sample I can’t figure out how much unmelted wax I need to heat. Trying to reduce waste.
@ParisNikkole
2 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! As far as unmelted wax is concerned, I generally don't know how much I will need. However, now that I have a melting pot, I tend to just pour the wax directly into the jar when I am trying to figure out how much wax I need for a new jar. The jar will be siting on the scale of course so I will get my weight that way. Also, even if you melt too much wax when using a double boiler, use what you need and allow the remainder of wax to solidify because you can still reuse that wax. You don't have to trash it after it has been melted down.

Thanks so much! 🤗 Depends on the jar you are using, wax type, wick, % of fragrance oil you want to use, etc. All candles are not created equal. I use more fragrance oil in coco apricot wax than in coco soy wax and sometimes if the fragrance oil is super strong I use less and if it is weak, I will use more to make sure my candles are giving the same hot throw, no matter the scent. It is all about the testing.

@ParisNikkole

Thanks so much Erica! ❤️ As far as fragrance to wax ratio you have to decide what percentage of fragrance you need to have a great hot and cold throw. I use a 10% fragrance load in most of my candles. Some fragrance oils require 11% but I have found that 12% is too much. So for 330-340 grams of wax I would use 33-34 grams of fragrance oil for a 10% load. There is a calculation you can use as well (oz/g of wax using) x (% of fragrance oil you want to use) = (oz/g of fragrance oil needed). I also have the full chart in my candle making ebook payhip.com/b/WfIvq

Glad it was helpful! To calculate the percentage of fragrance oil you will first need to determine if you want 10%, 11% or 12% fragrance load. You would then multiply the amount of was by the % of fragrance oil which gives you the amount you need to add to each candle. So for example, a 340g candle with a 10% fragrance load will need 34g of fragrance oil. Check out my candle testing workbook to help you with formulas, etc. DIGITAL VERSION: payhip.com/b/WfIvq PAPERBACK VERSION: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1J2GV3M/ref=sr_1_1?crid=22TOPOCYT3JV1&keywords=candle+testing+workbook&qid=1681703322&sprefix=candle+testing+workbook%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-1

The general rule is to put between 10% - 12% fragrance load. So test your candle with 10%, 11% and 12% fragrance load. Then check the cold throw and hot throw on each. If it’s too strong then go down. If it’s not strong enough go up but never over 12% fragrance load.

Your calculation would be as follows: 16oz (453g) x 6% = .96 oz (27.2g) Hope this helps! 😊

Absolutely! I actually recommend to find a candle making starter kit to test it out. Brambleberry and Candle Science has great starter kits! For my soft launch I purchased 16 ounces of fragrance oils and around 90 pounds of wax. I made 10 jar candles and 10 tin candles of each fragrance (I had 30 fragrances). This was expensive but it allowed me to see what the customers actually want to buy. Some of the scents that I thought would do well, sold the least. It will be a lot of trial and error in the beginning but once you begin selling you will be able to dive into customer analytics and make some changes to boost your sales and cater to your customers wants! Good Luck!

You don't need to add the fragrance oil to find your wax fill weight. The fragrance oil will not make a difference because it doesn't weigh much at all. Now, if you are trying to find your wax to fragrance oil ratio that is different. You will need to test your candles using different fragrance oil percentages to see what works (8%, 9%, 10%). Good Luck! ❤️

@@ParisNikkole hello, when calculating fragrance load do we calculate using 13.7 dry wax weight, or 12.1 melted wax weight?

Does this include adding your fragrance oil?

This only works with wax flakes or pellets, you can't accurately do this with a wax block

Yes you can if you cut it into chunks and melt it on a double boiler. This is how I find the max fill for all of my vessels.

U didn't tell how much FO will be used in 12.1 ounces of wax?????

I am sure this is a joke but if you are using 12.1 ounces of wax multiply that by 10% and you will get your answer.

You left out 1.5oz because it becomes heavier as it hardens?

No, the weight doesn't change as it solidifies. I left out 1.5oz because you are supposed to fill the jar to a certain point for safety measures when burning.
