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.
  • Trying to find the right wick for your CandleScience Coconut Apricot Wax candles? Our Wick Guide will help get your testing started.

Coconut Apricot Wax
Tonia Watkins 2025-10-07

This wax is so amazing. I’m fairly new at candle making and this wax makes it so easy for me. It holds color very well, hot and cold scent throw is great too. Very Beginner friendly

ITS A WIN FOR ME
Tiffany W - Blooming Garden 2025-10-06

Started with the wax as a first-time buyer then switched to Soy wax 444 just because (no rhyme or reason other than hearing soy is better) I must say i will be placing an order of the coconut Apricot wax although I have not finished my soy wax 444 golden - i cannot get over the 2-week cure time. This is prolonging my test for Hot throw. I feel like I'm wasting Fragrance oil. the Cure time for the Coconut is only 5 days, and that i can deal with !!! the faster i know if i need to adjust my product or not.

Excellent Hot Throw!!!
Bloomilosity 2025-08-30

I love this wax. The hot throw is amazing. The cold throw is ok. Frankincense & Myrrh is my favorite followed by Lily of the Valley. Please do NOT discontinue any of these products. Similar to what some others have mentioned in their reviews, there are a lot of wet spots/air pockets showing up on my glass jars. This makes them appear a bit unprofessional looking if you wish to sell them. If I could figure out how to fix this issue, this would be my go-to perfect wax option.

I like this wax but i feel it is hard to wick! I also have a lot of wet spots in my clear vessel! I mix the fo at 190f and stirr for 2 minutes and pour immediately at 163! I need to pour at 170 or 175 to avoid the wet spot but I can’t. Any input will be appreciated !
