How to Make Sandalwood Rose Wax Cubes: A Detailed Process
Melt the Wax: You begin by melting the wax of your choice in a double broiler. Remember to stir the wax so that it melts evenly on the stove. Soy wax, therefore, is preferred for newbies in candle making because of its relatively low melting point and ease of use.
Add Essential Oils: Once the wax is fully melted, take it off the heat and allow it to cool a little. Now, melt in your essential oils — Around 10-15 drops of sandalwood & 10 drops of rose essential oil per cup of wax. You can change these amounts, depending on whether you like the scent or not.
Fragrance Boost: For a more powerful fragrance or one closer to the Bain & Body Works variant, mix a few drops of sandalwood rose fragrance oil into the mixture. This will assist in recreating the lotions smell in a more accurate manner After this, pour out ¼ cup of the liquid into a new container for dilution.
Pour Into Molds: Make sure that you tilt the scented wax appropriately as you pour it into your molds. Just ensure that you select a mould that will allow you to easily get the wax cubes out once they have set.
Cool and Set: Let the wax cool in the molds to room temperature. It typically takes a few hours to cool down fully; however, you can hasten the process by placing the molds in the fridge.
Remove and Store: After the wax cubes have crystallized entirely, transfer them to a cooler and let them cool completely before popping them out of the molds and placing them in an airtight container. If wax cubes are stored in a cool and a dry place they will still emit their fragrance for a long time.
