Sunflower wax
Do you like sunflower seeds?
And what about candle pouring?
… and what the two have in common?
Let’s pour a candle from sunflower seed extract!
Vincent Van Gogh was in love with the sunflowers! Why don’t you have a go? Such a novelty! :)
Why shall you choose sunflower wax? It is 100% plant based material, made from hydrogenated sunflower oil, which comes from the seed of the plant. White and odorless. The best choice when it comes to pouring candles into a jar, as well as it has a great absorptive feature for perfumery.
The sunflower wax has quite effective adhesion to the container, also highly resistant to exudation.
100% organic, free of GMO, not contain any additional ingredients, not tested on animals
Melting point: between 43-47 Celsius
Country of origin: EU (cultivation place as well)
Suitable raw material for candle makings, especially for poured ones. We suggest warming the jars up before pouring in order to avoid heavy temperature differences between the wax and the container. Additional perfume can be added at approx 70 Celsius, and it is worth it to start pouring around 65 Celsius. Its white color has a really nice effect.
Avoid using paints for sunflower wax pigmenting, because it is really difficult to set the constant shade up for each piece. According to our tests, the candle has been broken due to freezing, therefore we do not recommend taking it to the fridge.
Although, we do suggest you to take some tests, have a try on your own pleasure, and create wonderful, special candles!
