Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to paraffin-based kits, the Soft Surroundings Soy Candle Making Kit offers a significantly cleaner burn with virtually no soot production. Unlike generic hobby store kits that often use synthetic fragrance oils, this Soft Surroundings set prioritizes botanical extracts, ensuring the finished product is as healthy as it is fragrant. It stands out against cheaper alternatives by providing heavy-duty glass vessels that can be repurposed indefinitely.

How to use it

1. Clean your glass vessels thoroughly and secure the cotton wicks to the bottom center using the provided adhesive.
2. Melt the soy wax flakes in a double boiler until they reach the specific temperature noted in the guide.
3. Carefully stir in the essential oil blends once the wax has cooled slightly to preserve the scent integrity.
4. Pour the liquid wax into the prepared jars and use the centering tools to keep wicks upright.
5. Allow the candles to cure for at least 24 hours in a draft-free area before trimming the wicks and lighting.
