Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to generic paraffin-based candle kits, the Scandinavian Candle Co. kit stands out due to its slower-burning wax and cleaner soot-free profile. Unlike bulk hobby store kits that often use synthetic fragrance stabilizers, this kit utilizes high-flashpoint oils that retain their scent throw without harsh chemicals.

Compared to beeswax kits, this soy-based alternative is strictly vegan and offers a smoother, flatter top finish upon cooling, which is a common pain point for amateur makers using animal-derived waxes or blends.

How to use it

1. Secure the cotton wick to the center of the amber glass jar using the provided adhesive dots.
2. Melt the pre-measured soy wax flakes in the pitcher using a double-boiler method until they reach 185°F.
3. Carefully stir in the premium fragrance oils for two minutes to ensure full molecular binding.
4. Allow the wax to cool to 135°F before pouring slowly into the prepared jars.
5. Let the candles cure for at least 24 to 48 hours in a draft-free environment for the best scent throw.

Sustainability & ethics

Scandinavian Candle Co. emphasizes environmental responsibility by utilizing soy wax derived from renewable American crops rather than petroleum-based paraffin. The packaging is 100% recyclable, and the amber glass jars are designed for infinite reuse after the candle has finished burning. Their sourcing process ensures that all fragrance oils are phthalate-free and never tested on animals.
