Details

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: White Sage and Lavender, Love Spell, Sweetgrass and Violet, Hydrangea, Lavender, Hibiscus Palm, 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.

Good, buuuuuut...

The dye is great. Its very pigmented and the only complaint I really have is it isn't UV safe. I took the candle outside to show a friend and had it sitting in the direct sunlight for an hour or two and now one side of the candle is a much more faded color. Not a dealbreaker by any means, and personally I think the faded look is cool, but I think its good to know. I haven't had this problem before in my admittedly limited candle making experience, and if it matters I used the 4630 paraffin wax.

great dyes

The only company I buy my liquid dyes from. Some don't realize that in soy type of wax you will need to add more to get a true color. In paraffin you use less. These are great true color dyes.

I bought this to try the liquid dye instead of block dye. Happy with purchase. Candles came out a beautiful color.

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)
