Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes a candle sell the most?

A: A great selling candle has three key ingredients: A unique, long-lasting scent that draws customers in; high-quality wax for a smooth, even burn; and attractive, on-brand packaging that tells a story. Shop with Midwest Fragrance Company for the best candle making supplies!

Q:Where should I start as a beginner candle maker?

A: Getting the right materials is key! Follow these steps:

  1. Choose Your Wax: Soy wax is beginner-friendly, para-soy gives strong scent throw, and coconut wax is luxurious.
  2. Pick the Right Wick: Wick size matters! Too small = tunneling, too large = sooting & unsafe. Always test different sizes with your wax and container.
  3. Select a Vessel & Fragrance: Use heat-safe jars and candle-safe fragrance oils, testing at 6-10% fragrance load per wax recommendations.
  4. Get Basic Equipment: A double boiler, thermometer, scale, and mixing tools are must-haves
  5. Test & Adjust: Keep a journal to track burn tests, scent throw, and wick performance.

Q: What type of wax is best for beginners?

A: Para-soy blends like Maker’s Blend 100 are great for beginners due to their easy pour and excellent fragrance throw.

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you! For candles, we recommend adding your fragrance to the melted wax when it’s at the correct temperature (usually around 185°F, but check your wax’s specs). Mix well, pour, and let the magic happen. For soap-making, our oils are perfect for melt-and-pour, cold process, or hot process soaps. Always follow recommended usage rates and do a small test batch to ensure everything works beautifully. Need more tips? Check out our resources—we love helping makers like you!

The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always check IFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
