New Glass Fragrance Oil Bottles

As an environmentally conscious company, in December 2018 we embarked on a new project in order to tackle our single-waste plastic consumption. This project, among other things, tackled our previous plastic fragrance oil bottles being replaced with new eco-friendly aluminium bottles.

However, we have received some constructive feedback from our customers regarding the new aluminium bottles about it being hard to open the lids.

We have therefore stopped using the 75ml and 170ml aluminium bottles. These two sizes have now been replaced by 60ml and 150ml glass alternatives. These can be seen in the image above.

The new glass bottles were designed with the feedback from our customers and the advantageous elements of the glass bottles, such as having child-safe caps and being easily recycled.

By changing to a glass alternative, we hope to have resolved the issue that has been outlined whilst still minimising the impact we have on the environment.

We do still use the 600ml aluminium bottle and are working to have the cap changed.

Hi I am a newbie to wax melts but you came highly recommended from a shop that stocks wax melts using your oils. I have used your fragrance and I love them but I did wonder about the glass bottles. Is there a way of returning them to you so that you can recycle for a customer loyalty kind of scheme?

Hi, we do not offer a returned bottle loyalty scheme. Once the bottle is completely empty, it can be rinsed using warm soapy water before being placed in your recycling bin.

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 ...

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 nee...
