How to Use

Place the mold on a flat, heat-resistant surface with the opening facing up. Insert a wick pin through the base before pouring, or use a skewer to create the wick channel once the candle has set. Pour melted wax at the appropriate temperature for your wax type (60–68°C / 140–155°F for paraffin pillar; 55–60°C for beeswax). Allow to cool fully at room temperature. Top up any sinkholes with a second pour. Once fully set, peel the silicone gently away from the candle, working from the outer petal edges inward. Trim the wick to 5–7mm before burning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What wax gives the best petal detail?
Beeswax and hard paraffin pillar wax both reproduce the pointed petal edges and fine layering sharply. Natural ivory beeswax is particularly beautiful in this mold — the warm tone and slight translucency enhance the three-tier texture. Soy pillar blends work but may show slightly softer edges on the finest petal tips.

What colors work best for a lotus candle?
Blush pink, soft coral, ivory, white, pale lavender, and dusty rose all complement the lotus form beautifully. Deep jewel tones — burgundy, deep plum, forest green — also work well for a more dramatic look. Adding a light dusting of gold or pearl mica powder to the finished candle highlights the petal relief.

How much wax do I need?
Approximately 160–180g of melted wax for a full pour. Always melt slightly more than needed to allow for a top-up pour to fill any sinkholes.

Can I use this mold for soap or resin?
Yes — this food-grade silicone mold works well for melt-and-pour soap, cold-process soap, resin, and plaster. The detailed lotus form translates beautifully in resin, particularly when finished with gold leaf or mica pigment.

Is this mold suitable as a gift candle?
Yes — the lotus is a universally recognized symbol of calm, renewal, and mindfulness, making it ideal for spa, wellness, yoga, and meditation gift sets. Pair with a complementary fragrance such as jasmine, sandalwood, white tea, or lotus blossom for a complete gift.
