Purple Dye
I bought this to try the liquid dye instead of block dye. Happy with purchase. Candles came out a beautiful color.
Product Update- Due to raw material sourcing, our purple liquid dye formulation and concentration has changed. We recommend using the following guide to achieve an optimal shade of color .
- 4 drops or .018% per pound of wax
- 8 drops or .037% per pound of wax for darker colors
Our liquid candle dyes are packaged in plastic containers with plastic droppers for easier shipping.
Usage:
1oz colors 100 lbs soy or 200 lbs paraffin to a medium shade.
4oz colors 400 lbs soy or 800 lbs paraffin to a medium shade.
Fragrance Oil Recommendations: Black Cherry, Blueberry Cobbler, Hydrangea, Lavender, Lilac, Plumeria
Deep, rich colors are difficult in soy. They require 2-3 times the dye that paraffin requires, sometimes more. Note that standard dye amounts create a washed-out, pastel color in soy. We suggest making a test swatch to figure out the dye amount you will need to get the color you'd like.
Due to the extreme concentration of our liquid dyes there is a noticeable odor that will not be detectable at normal usages in finished candles.

I LOVE this color and so pretty when I see the results in my candles!
Candle Science is the only place I buy my dyes for soy and paraffin candles. It does take more for soy versus paraffin. A tip that I've always done is after you add your FO, add your dye, stir well then drop a few drops on a paper plate, if too light, add more dye. Take notes! (I add my FO before my dye because some FO's do discolor dyes and I want a true color test)
