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.

Great CT and Smooth Tops.

Ben 2025-10-30

I love that this wax looks amazing after pouring and the cold throw is great!

My only question would be what wick size should I be using? I use the LX series wicks with this wax and the container size I have been using is a 2.75” inside diameter. Hot throw has been hit or miss for me. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks for reviewing this wax - we're glad to hear you love it! Our Wick Guide (candlescience.com/learning/wick-guide) is a great resource for finding out which wicks to start testing with. When using this custom wax in a Medium (2.7" - 2.94") diameter container, we suggest trying an LX 16. A member of our Support team is also reaching out to assist!

I have tried many different waxes, and this one has become a favorite of ours. It burns clean, full pool, exceptional fragrance throws hot and cold and easy to use. We love it and so do our customers.

This wax is amazing!

Chris @ Charlotte Candleworks 2025-10-30

I have been using this wax for months and it is a game changer. From a maker's stand point, the vibrant colors and ability to pour in one shot is outstanding. I use both the container wax and the pillar wax for my wax melts and i highly recommend that if you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, that you look into using this. You guys hit it out of the park with this one. Thank you for all that you guys do!!

so smooth and buttery

I have made so many candles and by far this wax is the bees knees for self pour candles.
Add a little mica shimmer and it makes the most beautiful cosmic shimmer as the candle melts. It also gives such an amazing throw.
I absolutely love this high end luxury wax , well worth it!

I absolutely love CandleScience’s Coconut Apricot Wax! After testing several types over the years, nothing compares to how beautifully this one performs. It gives my candles a smooth, creamy finish every time and delivers a clean, even burn that my customers can’t stop raving about. The hot throw is incredible — the fragrances truly come to life and fill a room without being overpowering.

It’s hands down the best wax I’ve ever used, and it’s become the foundation of my entire candle line. My customers notice the difference, and so do I!
