Why This Blend Works

Natural soy wax provides a clean, even burn and excellent fragrance throw without releasing synthetic petroleum by-products. Blending high-grade nutmeg and ginger fragrance oil directly into the melted wax ensures a rich, spicy aroma distribution throughout your living space as the weather cools.

Formulation & Instructions

Ingredients:

Equipment:

  • 1 × heat-safe glass jar or tin (200 ml capacity)
  • Digital thermometer and double boiler
  • Wick centring tool or peg

Method:

  1. Secure the wick base to the centre of your clean container using a small drop of melted wax or a glue dot. Keep the wick upright using a centring tool.
  2. Place the soy wax flakes into your double boiler over a medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted (around 65–70°C).
  3. Remove the wax from the heat and allow it to cool to 60°C. Pour in 12 ml of Nutmeg & Ginger Fragrance Oil and stir gently for 60 seconds to mix evenly.
  4. Carefully pour the liquid wax into your prepared container, leaving 1 cm of space at the top. Allow it to cool and cure at room temperature for 24 hours.
  5. How to use: Trim the wick to 5 mm before lighting. Burn for no more than 3–4 hours at a time for optimal scent throw and a clean burn.
