How to make Raspberry Ripple Wax Melts
How to make a Raspberry Ripple wax melt
This wax melt is sure to bring back memories of this classic ice cream flavour. It’s tons of fun to make, and it’s even more fun to melt!
Equipment
•Silicone Snap Bar Mould
•ParaSoy Melt Wax
•Sun Ripe Raspberry Fragrance Oil
•Pink Liquid Candle Dye
•Mica powder
•Hob/Hotplate/Double Boiler
•Heatproof Bowl
•Thermometer
•Pouring Jug
Step 1: Measure your wax. We are using our silicone snap bar mould which holds about 60g of wax. We are also using our ParaSoy Melt Wax, which has been developed by professionals to offer the scent throw of paraffin wax, combined with the same appealing look and usability soy wax!
Step 2: Melt your wax. Place your wax into a heatproof bowl and put it on top of a pan half filled with water. Pop the pan on the hob over a low to medium heat, and wait for your wax to melt. Remember to check your wax’s melting point; here we used our new ParaSoy Melt Wax which has a high melt point of around 80°C. Once melted remove your wax from the heat.
Step 3: Fragrance oil and mica powder. If you are planning on using fragrance oil, allow your wax to cool to around 65°C before adding it. We’ve used our Sun Ripe Raspberry Fragrance Oil which is identical to freshly picked ripe raspberries, bursting with crisp sweet and fruity aromas! Once your oil and wax is well mixed, you can add your chosen mica powder remembering to stir thoroughly!
Step 4: Pouring the wax and adding your dye. Once your wax has cooled to around 50-55°C you can transfer your wax into your pouring jug. Then, steadily pour the wax into your mould, making sure not to create any bubbles. To create the ripple effect, add a few drops of pink liquid dye on the end of your thermometer and gently run it through the wax leaving a nice swirly pattern. Leave your wax melts to set overnight and allow them to cure for up to 2 weeks before burning for optimal scent throw!
We’d love to see your work!
