Escentscia Prime vs Escentscia Style Fragrance Oil Ranges

All our fragrance oils are formulated in the EU by Escentscia and are all suitable for vegans, not tested on animals, and are paraben and sulphate free. But do you know the difference between our Escentscia Prime and Escentscia Style Range of fragrance oils?

The first difference between our two ranges is that our Escentscia Prime range tends to be singular fragrances (such as Chocolate and a separate Orange.) Our Escentscia Style range however tends to be blends of fragrances (such as a combined Chocolate Orange).

Whilst any of our fragrances can be blended together, we have formulated the Escentscia Prime Range as singular fragrances to allow you to blend and create your own unique and bespoke fragrances! In a growing market, this is a great way for you to stand out from your competitors. Whilst blending fragrances may not always be a 50/50 ratio, we do offer free CLP information for all blends created exclusively with our fragrances.

The second difference between our two ranges is that all our Style fragrances are phthalate free. Phthalate (also known as Diethyl phthalate or DEP) is an additive which is commonly found in everyday products such as hairsprays and other cosmetic products.

FAQs:

Q: Can both ranges be used in paraffin and natural waxes?
A: Yes, all our fragrances can be used in either natural or paraffin waxes.

Q: Do you use the same fragrance load in both ranges?
A: Yes, all our fragrances are highly concentrated and can be used at equal percentages.

Q: When should I add fragrance oil to my wax?
A: We always recommend adding your fragrance oil just before you are about to pour your candles, to prevent fragrance oil evaporating.

Golden Wax Comparison: Which soy wax should I choose?

We are often asked questions such as ‘what is the difference between the Golden Waxes?’ and ‘which soy wax should I use?’ To help make this easier, we have put together a handy wax comparison chart for the Golden Wax 494, Golden Wax 464, and Golden Wax 444: The Similarities All three of the Golden Waxes are manufactured by AAK. They are natural, kosher, vegan and cruelty free. The most suitable dye to use with natural soy wax is the Inpex SD Dye . Additionally, all three waxes have very similar fragrance loads (10-11%) and offer fantastic cold and hot throw when used alongside Escentscia Prime Range and Style Range fragrance oils. The Differences When choosing which soy wax to use, you need to first consider the type of candle you will be making. For wax melts and small moulded candles, you need a wax which contracts as it cools to allow mould release and therefore the Golden Wax 494 is most suitable. Please note that the Golden Wax 494 is not suitable for pillar candles.   For soy

Candle Making Guide: How to prime raw candle wick

All wicks should be coated in wax before they are used. We offer pre-waxed candle wicks here for customers who prefer the convenience, but we also offer raw candle wick here for customers who enjoy priming their own wicks. Raw wick is unwaxed cotton wick. It is supplied in string-like format and is wound onto a cardboard bobbin. A step-by-step guide to priming your own wicks can be found below: Cut the required length of wick off the cardboard spool which it is supplied on.  Dip the wick into the melted wax and keep the wick in the melted wax until you see air bubbles rise to the surface. This generally takes a few seconds.  When this happens, it means that the wick has absorbed a sufficient amount of wax and the wick can now be removed from the wax. Run your fingers along the wick to remove any extra air bubbles and then lay flat on a hard surface. Once this has dried, we recommend repeating this procedure twice, but please note when doing the 2nd and 3rd layer you only need to dip

Candle Making Guide: Scoopable Wax

Scoopable wax is similar to a wax tart/melt however instead of being stand-alone the wax is poured directly into a container such as a jar or tin. The end user is then able to scoop out the required amount of scented wax and place directly into their wax melt burners. Scoopable wax is becoming more common for candle makers as the usual process of removing tarts from the mould, and packaging them, is no longer required! Scoopable wax also allows the end user to decide how much wax they’d like to use and is ideal for irregular shaped burners. Due to the wax needing to be scooped out by the consumer, a much softer wax combination is required. This wax combination is 100% natural too! This recipe will make enough mixture to fill one of our large aluminium tins and have some mixture left over.   What you’ll need:   1 x Double Pan Set (to melt your wax) 1 x Thermometer 20ml Escentscia/Escentscia US Style Fragrance Oil 50g Golden Wax 494 (5715-94-02) 150g White Rapeseed Wax
