Lilial Update: 01/03/22

Lilial Update – 01/03/2022:

As of September 2019, Escentscia began to remove lilial and lyral from our fragrances at our request in advance of reclassification changes. Since this time, our customers who signed up to newsletters have been notified via email whenever a fragrance oil has been tweaked to remove lilial or lyral, or where there have been changes to fragrance oil documentation.

From today, home fragrance products containing more than 0.3% lilial in the finished product cannot be sold to the public. Home fragrance products which contain less than 0.3% lilial in the finished product are not affected and can still be sold.

Very few of our fragrances contained lilial at a high enough percentage to trigger 0.3% in the finished product and those that did were the first fragrances to be tweaked when the reworks began in 2019.

Despite this, we wanted to go further, and we are happy to announce that all of the fragrance oils on the 4Candles website are now completely lilial and lyral free!

The following fragrances contained lilial in very small quantities and have been tweaked to remove this. We have checked all of these and there is no change in the scent as the alteration is so small. From today the new formulas have replaced the old and new MSDS documentation has been uploaded for the following fragrances:

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...
