How it compares

Compared to standard paraffin-based kits, the Melt'n'Mold Soy Wax Kit offers a significantly cleaner burn with less soot and a longer burn time. While paraffin kits are often cheaper, they are petroleum-derived; this soy alternative is renewable and biodegradable. It provides a more user-friendly experience than beeswax kits, which are not vegan and require higher melting temperatures.

How to use it

1. Heat the soy wax flakes in the provided double-boiler pitcher until they reach 185°F.
2. Add the vegetable-based dye chips and stir gently until the color is fully incorporated.
3. Allow the wax to cool slightly to 175°F before adding the included essential oil fragrances.
4. Secure the cotton wick to the center of the jar using the provided adhesive dots and centering tool.
