How to Use

Break or cut the block into smaller pieces and melt gently using a double boiler or wax melter. This wax melts at just 42°C / 108°F — avoid overheating. Add fragrance oil at around 55–60°C / 131–140°F and stir thoroughly. Pour at approximately 45–50°C / 113–122°F into your container. Allow to cool fully at room temperature without disturbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the melting point so low?
Coconut wax naturally has a lower melting point than soy or paraffin wax. At 42°C / 108°F, this is a particularly soft grade — it will soften or melt in warm environments, so store in a cool place. This low melting point makes it ideal for massage candles, which are designed to melt safely on skin at body temperature.

Can I use this for massage candles?
Yes — the very low melting point makes this coconut wax an excellent choice for massage candles. The melted wax pools at a skin-safe temperature and can be applied directly. Always test the temperature of the melt pool before use and use an appropriate wick size to maintain a low flame.

Can I use this for pillar candles?
No — at 42°C this wax is too soft to hold a freestanding shape. It is best used in containers (jars, tins, tealight cups). For pillar candles, blend with 20–30% beeswax to raise the melting point and add firmness.

What fragrance load can this wax hold?
Coconut wax typically holds 6–10% fragrance oil by weight. Add fragrance at 55–60°C and stir for at least 2 minutes to ensure full incorporation before pouring.

Is 50g enough for a full candle?
A standard 20cl / 200ml jar typically requires around 150–170g of wax. 50g is ideal for a small tealight batch (approximately 5–6 tealights) or for testing a new fragrance or color before committing to a larger pour.
