If we had to pick one wax for all makers of any experience level, CandleScience Coconut Apricot Wax is it. Through extensive research and testing, our lab has developed a user-friendly, single-pour container wax that makes it easier to achieve the strong hot throw and smooth tops found in luxury candles. And, the cure time is just one to two days!

This wax features the ability to create multi-wick candles in containers with diameters as small as 3.25”, which elevates both the aesthetic and fragrance intensity of your candle line while minimizing your costs. Learn more about how to calculate your costs in our article on How to Price Your Candles.

Benefits

Luxury apricot wax blend
Elevated multi-wick aesthetic
Single-pour with smooth tops
Excellent hot throw
Minimal frosting
Good color retention
Enhanced UV protection

Our custom blend of apricot, coconut, and soy includes a UV additive that protects candles from yellowing and dyed candles from fading due to light exposure. Our formulation minimizes frosting, allows for bolder use of color, and the inclusion of paraffin is key to this wax’s strong fragrance throw.

Candle Maker's Notes
A unique feature of this wax is that a traditional melt pool, where the wax is fully melted to the edge of the container, isn’t necessary. As long as the wax continues to melt and slide into the wax, the wax will be fully utilized.

See our lab notes for details on how to conduct your burn testing.

1 lb Heat-Safe Bags
Our custom wax is offered in 1 lb heat-safe, BPA-free bags for testing. No metal pouring pitcher is needed.

Troubleshooting Tips

Too much soot with a single wick? Try double- or triple-wicking with smaller wicks. Containers with diameters larger than 3.25” will likely need more than one wick.
Wet spots? Warm your jars before pouring your wax and/or pour your wax at a warmer temperature.
Visible striations or layers in your dyed candles? Pour the wax at a slightly warmer temperature.

Hot Throw Issues

Derrick Nelson 2025-07-01

I have been using Golden Brands 464 for a year now and I love the cold and hot throw of that wax, however I love to color my wax and I use clear vessels and the frosting really bothered me with that wax. I wanted to give this wax a try to remedy that issue.

I used Candlescience’s Salted Honey Butter fragrance oil at 10% fragrance load. I used the studio tumbler jar by Candlescience as my vessel with a CD 16 wick. I colored this candle with a mixture of brown and yellow to test the frosting.

When my candle cooled, the top was very smooth. There were no cracks or sink holes. I didn’t have to use my heat gun for anything. After 5 days cure time there was no visible frosting which is great! There was also amazing jar adhesion. I didn’t see any separation from the vessel. However, the cold throw in that candle is very weak and I don’t smell the hot throw at all.

I really would like to switch to this wax, but I need help figuring out how to achieve good cold and hot throws, which is the most important part.

Beautiful Wax. However....

Kit 2025-06-28

This wax is soft and beautiful, with a soft top after it's burned. It really fits great with the luxury line I am doing. It is easy to pour and has great adhesion on the candle vessel I purchased from Candle Science—Sonomo—frosted white and black swirl. My challenge is that the CT is awesome, but I barely smell the HT. I used 2 LX 16 wicks, 10% FO, and cured for 7 days. Any input would be awesome!

Wax Review

McKenzie 2025-06-25

i found it very easy to use this wax as a beginner. super easy & clean. however this wax is extremely soft. i made some wax melts and feel as though they don’t hold their shape well while package. just my experience though! very soft and subtle wax.

5 out of 5 Stars.

Love this wax nice and smooth

Risha 2025-06-14

This wax does produce really smooth tops and the hot throw is very good. I don’t have any issues with sooting like I did with 6006. I highly recommend this wax; the look of candles are beautiful.

Love the wax

Niecy 2025-06-13

I love the wax. My tops are very smooth. The HT is awesome but the CT is very weak. Help!

CandleScience responded: 2025-06-17
