Description:
Accu-Pure Olive Oil / Soy Wax Blend is a proprietary container blend of all-natural organic olive and soy waxes. It has excellent color retention, jar adhesion, hot and cold scent throw, and is very clean burning. No additives are required. It is also blended to eliminate frosting of colored candles, and is a one pour blend. It has a smooth shiny surface and burns cooler, so it burns longer. As with all natural products, blends can vary slightly from batch to batch. This wax contains UV stabilizers to help maintain brightness of candle dye. We recommend heating your wax to 210-220, add fragrance oil right away. Allow it to cool to around 150 and pour into vessel. We recommend preheat vessels.
| Melting Point: | 119 - 128°F |
| Average Pouring Temperature: | 150°F |
| Curing: | Good results after 3 days, but even better results when it's cured for 1-2 weeks. |
| Recommended Wicks: | We recommend CDN wicks. |
Please note: When shipping during warmer temperatures, the wax may soften or melt slightly. This will not affect the wax quality.

How to Use
- Prepare vessels first, or prepare while wax is heating up. ie wick vessels and secure with wick centering bars before pouring in hot wax.
- Cut wax into smaller chunks. Our Olive Oil / Soy Wax blend is soft enough wax where you can use a butter knife to score it and break it into smaller pieces.
- Heat to 210 - 220°F degrees, remove from the heat source, add fragrance oil and dye, blend for 15-30 seconds.
- For consistently smooth results, it is recommended to pour hot at 150 - 160°F.
- For thick glass and or cooler room temperatures below 65°F, pre-heating the glass is recommended. For example, you can either place jars in the oven on the lowest setting, or use a heat gun to preheat jars.
- For smoother top surfaces (ie granite), it is recommended to heat lamp the surface after candle has set up or place candle on a raised cooling rack.
- The maximum fragrance load is 8%, but higher fragrance loads should be tested per fragrance.
- We recommend allowing a 1 week cure time to maximize the cold and hot throw.
How do you calculate the amount of fragrance oil to use?
First, you need to know what percentage of fragrance oil you want to use. The average usage is 6%.
Here is a basic formula:
(oz of wax using) x (% of fragrance oil you want to use) = (oz of fragrance oil needed)
For example, let's say you are using two pounds of wax and want to use 6% fragrance oil.
First, you'll need to calculate the number of ounces of wax you have:
2 x 16 (number of oz in 1 pound) = 32oz
Plug these numbers into your formula:
32 x 6% = 1.92oz
You can round up to 2oz for easy measuring on your scale.
Below, I created an easy fragrance load calculator where it will calculate the amount of fragrance oil needed in both ounces and grams.
I'm using a 13.5 oz Libbey jar with a diameter of 3-1/8". Feel free to adjust your wicks accordingly based on your vessel size/diameter and fragrance load. Hopefully this helps with your testing and gives you a reference point to start with.

General Wick Guide
WICKING TIP: Coconut blended waxes are different than regular soy wax. There won't be a full melt pool until you get about half way down the jar. 100% soy has a "memory" and will tunnel, however, coconut blended waxes don't as much. Initially, there will be some "hang up" on the sides of the jar but as the wick burns, the sides of the jar heat up, and melt the rest of the wax. The important thing to keep an eye on when wick testing is to make sure the jar doesn't get too hot to the touch, there's no soot starting to form along the rim of the vessel, and ideally, the temperature of the melt pool should be between 140 - 160 F.
