Creating vibrant candles starts with the right approach to wax coloring. This guide explains how to use Bekro's concentrated dyes for candles and wax melts.

These dyes are easy to use, don't affect burn quality or scent, and are suitable for all types of wax. A small amount is enough for rich colors.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why do dye flakes look different from the candle’s final color?

In solid form, dyes appear darker due to high pigment concentration. Once dissolved in wax and set, the true color is revealed.

How much dye should I use?

The recommended concentration is 0.2%, with 10g dye coloring 5kg of wax. Natural waxes, like soy, may need slightly more.

When should I add the dye?

Add the dye after incorporating fragrance oil to ensure the oil is fully blended first.

How do I add dye?

Add the dye at approximately 65°C, stirring thoroughly until dissolved. This ensures even coloring.

Can I mix colors?

Yes, mix dyes to create custom shades. Record proportions for consistency.

How do I prevent frosting?

Frosting is common with natural waxes, especially soy. Using 0.2% dye helps minimize this effect.
