Essential Oil-Infused Soy Candles
SUPPLIES:
• 426 g soy wax flakes for container
candles (available at your local craft
supply store)
• glass bowl
• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• sugar thermometer
• dōTERRA™ essential oils of your choice
• A wick trimmed to the size of the
container
• glass jar or other container
• clothes-pin
• scissors
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Melt soy wax flakes in a glass
bowl over a pan of simmering
water. Stir occasionally until wax is liquid
and pourable. (You can also heat the wax in the
microwave, at one-minute intervals until melted.)
2. Allow the liquid wax to cool to 49 C, then add
5-10 drops of your favourite essential oils.
3. Next, spoon a small amount of wax onto the centre of the
bottom of the container. Dangle the wick into the container
until it touches the wax, making sure you have enough
wick at the top to hang over the end of the
container. Hold the wick in place until the wax
hardens, then pinch the top end of the
wick with a clothes-pin and set the pin
across the top of the container,
keeping the wick centred
and upright.
4. Stir the wax so that it is smooth and then
slowly pour it into the container. Leave some
room at the top.
5. Let the wax harden overnight. The next day,
trim the wick, and your soy candle is complete.
