Introducing our EcoSystem Rapeseed & Coconut (RCX) natural wax blend. This wax is blended in Europe exclusively for Candle Shack and is made from rapeseed oil and coconut oil and nothing else. It is completely free from paraffin, soy, palm, beeswax and synthetic additives.
The wax has a melting point of around 40°C and is firm to the touch. Fragrance content is typically between 8% and 12% depending on the oil although 10% should be sufficient for most oils.
We recommend conducting a 2-day first stage of curing for wick testing, keeping the candles at ambient temperature, and a second stage of curing for scent throw for 7 to 14 days.
