Making Perfect Wax Melts

How far we have come since those Angel Wax Melts I made 10 months ago!
My #1 tip for making good wax melts is using the best wax!
The best wax (in my opinion) for making wax melts is:-
ECO SOYA MELT
Everything else after that falls into place the more you make wax melts.
SO, 10% Fragrance content.
100 grams wax = 10 grams fragrance.
1000 grams wax = 100 grams fragrance
TODAY'S WAX IS "EcoSoya Melt" (almost impossible to buy at the moment but I got some from Craftovator last night and at the time of this upload, it is still available).

I can't wait for soap class! I'll probably learn some very interesting things I didn't know, even if I've been soaping for 8 years. The melts are gorgeous! I've been using the Ecsoya pillar blend for mine, because you can't get the melt in the States just yet. It is working very well. I ordered 10 of the molds and had them sent over. Like everything else good, you can't buy it here! Hopefully Joe Biden will make a great deal with the UK in trade so it may become easier for us all! Jill Gross PS: Karen you are rich! You have your health, a grand husband, and you have all of us who love you like crazy! I know I hang around like a sad dog waiting for your videos to pop up!

[@michelleolop]

When using silicone wax bars, does anybody else have the issue when unmolding that there are reflective "stains" on the snap bar and it looks greasy on the mold in that exact place as well? What happens with this is that wherever the stain is, the glitter has completely moved to the side and it leave an unnatural pattern on the bar.... Help! :( i don't know what to do. In this video I think it happens to you at 15:30 as well. Where there is that shiny part at the bottom where there is no glitter

[@zoestephenson-gracey5177]

I made some last night but when I took them out the mold the front of them were not pretty. Seemed like the wax stuck to the mold. I had to reheat them. Any idea why?

What temp do you heat it too to add colour and fragrance and then what temp do you cool it down to when you pour because I seem to be getting frosting on my wax melts and I have tried so so many times

[@morganyeung2247]

From what I've researched you go with the wax you use, guidelines as they are different for each . I had frosting at the start too but I'm managed to not get it now. I use 494 golden wax. 😊

[@leanneharvie394]

I love your videos, you have inspired me to start making my own. I use golden wax 494 and so far so good. What would you advise is the minimum time to unmould? I am currently awaiting more moulds so need to reuse the ones I have.

[@EdensSecret1]

I'd say 3 hours to unmould.

Thank you. I left it about 3.5 and came out perfect. I thought I had to leave them 24 hours so you saved many hours thank you

Are you using moulding wax? If you are using container wax, that could be the reason. Look for mouling, pillar or wax melt wax, that works fine. Paraffin is a bit harder than soy, so they pop out easier.

Seen various different info from you can use after a few hours to they need to sit for 2 weeks. Thanks x

[@EdensSecret1]

Maybe your wax needs to be a little warmer. Also I am now using Ecosoya melt wax it is far superior to the 494 which is terrible for frosting. I know some people cure for a week but I just do 24 hours

I'm not understanding the measurements. I thought the % of fragrance was within the 700 not on top of 700?

[@frantasmagoriablog9181]

You can do it either way. :) When I make wax melts in moulds like this; I tend to do it as is shown in the video. If I am making candles I would do it the way you mentioned. So for example, if my container holds 100g in total and I wanted to use 10% fragrance oil, I would take it off of my 100g rather than add it on top.

When melting if I'm doing 450g do I weigh before or after melting

[@lexi_22xo]

Hiya Karen, just after some advice please I've heard it's x 2 cost for wholesalers and x 3 cost for retail? Is this correct? Im just starting out and have no idea when it comes to pricing lol Xx

[@EdensSecret1]

Great Question.... I'd say you need to at least triple it for wholesale and x5 or x6 for retail at least. Just doubling it will never give you enough to sustain your business. Let me explain.... if the ingredients for your wax melt costs you 60p and you sell that wax melt for £1.20 the profit you made (60p) will only cover buying more ingredients and there will be no profit in your pocket, so all you will be doing is making profit to re-purchase the same quantity of ingredients., your biz can't grow and you will have no profit in your bank. Hope that helps.
