Revision Notice: 

As of February 8, 2022, our Brown Liquid Candle Dye has been revised to meet our stringent safety standards. Just like CandleScience Clean Scents™, our new liquid candle dyes go above and beyond Prop 65 requirements by excluding a wide range of ingredients known to be harmful to human health, which means these candle dyes are free from carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, organ toxins, and acute toxins.

Our Brown Liquid Candle Dye for candle wax produces a color ranging from light to dark brown depending on the type of wax and amount of dye used. In soy wax, our brown candle dye generally produces light to medium shades; whereas paraffin wax can range from pastel to deep shades. We encourage you to experiment.

Use: 3 drops/lb (454 g) for a lighter shade or 6 drops/lb (454 g) for a darker shade

Note: Use instructions differ between colors. 

Toxin-free and phthalate-free, our Clean Scents Certified liquid candle dyes give candle makers confidence in the products they make.

Disappointing

When using recommended amount it comes out as an orangy pink like another stated. Used in bw910 parasoy.

Soy Color is Misrepresented

Like others, I found the resulting color of this dye when used in soy wax to be a warm-toned orangey pink. It is nothing like the cool toned brown shown in the example image. I would say the color I ended up with was more of a chestnut/oompahloompah color.

Great Product

I absolutely love the liquid dyes here. Especially the brown. Great job candle science!

I completely agree with one of the other customers down below, the color match displayed here on the website and on the bottle are completely different from when I actually used it with soy and according to instructions. The color came out to be a VERY WARM chocolate with orange undertones which was disappointing. I also ordered cream and same thing - VERY warm toned - not matching photos. I didn’t have any problems with black, it did not have any blue or purple hues which is great. Overall, wouldn’t order the browns again.

I only received half a bottle.

I only received half of a bottle. It works fine, the color is normal, but only half. Very disappointed l. I bought some fragrance oil as well but some of them are clearly opened before and not a full bottle either.

Color is different

It’s been a second time I ordered this dye. And it was totally by accident because I just looked at the color that they show here on how the wax looks like after dying and I liked It.
The color on the bottle looks totally different as the one shown here, and in real life with a soy was it looks very different. So don’t trust the pictures you see here when you buy, because it might disappoint you.
Overall I like this store but these dyes are really a disappointment.
