Hello Marilena, Soy wax is an optimal wax for candle pouring as it combines well with almost all essential oils. However we recommend waxes with a burning temperature above 80C°, as those below this temperature, such as orange waxes, will evaporate too quickly. Those with a higher burning point will feel better during burning. We recommend adding essential oils at temperatures between 76-82C°. Good luck!

Hello!I have read the product sheet soy wax, your recommendations on the preparation of candles, the answers given in chat for various questions..However, I still have a few questions: 1.what is the optimal temperature at which the essential oil or perfuming agent should be added to the melted soy wax commercialized by you? (from what I.have read from other sources, u e should be added at a temp of 10-15° celsius above the melting point of the wax)..if the soy wax melts at 53°, is it ok to add the u e or perfumes at 70-75°, then let it cool to about 65° before pouring?Is that ok? 2.I want to scent this candle with orange ue +or is cinnamon..I.saw that orange ue has low flash point between 45-55 °C, not above 75°c, do I understand that it is not recommended? Thank you very much!

Hello, A pigment suitable to get a vivid orange color we cannot recommend. Although we haven't tested it, theoretically you could try coloring the candle with urucum powder by adding about 2 grams of urucum powder to 100 grams of melted soy wax, stirring for a few minutes, then straining the macerate before pouring. We recommend testing the method on a small amount. Good luck!

Hello! Beeswax can also be used, in which case it is usually recommended to combine it with a little vegetable oil (resistant to oxidation) to facilitate the release of the fragrance.
