That candle is fine it will catch up next burn .. nice steady flame by the looks of it .. that would be a pass for me 👍

It depends on what wax you use for temps. Most fragrance oils can go upto 10g to 100g of wax again depending on what wax you use. If you are in the uk the maximum amount of fragrance oils in 10g wax is 100g. Make sure if you are selling your products have clp labels on with your business name address and phone number. If you have chosen a name for your business its best to make sure you check that the names not trademarked.x

Thank you x

My top tip would be if the shops are local to you, go in in person. Take some samples of your products. Then if you want to follow up with an email you can open with “lovely to meet you today”

Thankyou x Will the original version of the mods that are on the way be going on sale like some of the others would you think?… asking for a friend 😂x

I wouldn't use EO without a hefty amount of research. Each EO from each supplier will vary in terms of flash point. Also, some shouldn't be warmed around animals as they can give off toxins

My friends favourite flower is hyacinth. She’s asked me to make her candles that smell of them. Anyone any ideas which fragrance to use? Thanks in advance 🤞😘

Been debating trying Thai lime and mango for a while now, ordered this week while the sale was on, just have to say wow 👌 such an amazing and strong fragrance, can't wait to get testing it 🙌 thank you candleshack team ❤️

Hey!! I was honestly testing and working away for about a year before I launched my business.. I actually use cotton wicks but just as an FYI woodwicks are very very temperamental because you’re working with a purely natural material.. so even if you get one wick working nicely from one batch… another one from the same batch might not be quite the same.. it’s why I just didn’t go there with the wood wicks haha I read as well that you have to soak them sometimes & then when pour your candles pour the wax over the wick… not much help sorry but just keep an open mind to using or testing the good old classic cotton wicks ☺️ I have 7 candles now and they all perform super well www.notescandle company.co.uk if you want to have a snoop for some Inspo. Good luck! X

Hello guys need your help please can all the craftovator fragrances be used for the scentsy plug ins

Cuban tobacco and oak is beautiful in a candle ,cigar lounge and fireside all say classy to me 😊

Hello sorry if not allowed but hoping someone can assist I have a customer asking for a fragrance similar to the aftershave kreed Aventis I can see Aventos For Men on the website but not sure if this will be the same is there an Aventis and an Aventos? Thanks in advance

Love your shop, i have only just started and looking forward to having my own little shop in the near future, for me I would have to stock Coastal Cypress and Sea Fennel reminds me of relaxing holidays 🙂

I use an app called candle calculator

What containers are you using? Maybe the CLs and the wax don’t work together. I use CL10 in all my 20cl and they’re good x

I don't use essential oils but none of the FOs have ever affected my dog x

I use Glow CLP Labels, fabulous quality, sooo helpful and very good value too. x

Try fibre reeds and 10% oil.

Very pretty 🤩

If your planning on doing markets you'll prob want to do both, I've found it easier for the name of the scent on the front logo label xx

I Have to admit I’ve not been successful in getting a smooth frost free finish into clamshells though

Thai lime and mango must be one of my fave 2022 discoveries 🤣 sweet with a good punch of lime! 😍 It’s also great in rcx!

Have the glasses got the little chunky glass bit at the bottom? Like the amber? They are nice..... 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

It may not be possible to wick Kerasoy with one wick at 85mm+ Most candles larger than 75-80mm diameter are paraffin or blends.

Definitely try 4 hour burns. You could try lowering your fragrance oil percentage, sometimes less is more. Also, I think those fragrances might be subtle ones. Some stronger fragrance oils are good for building confidence in your candle making. 😀

Is there FO of these two? X

Yes you will need a whole new SDS & CLP created because perfumers alcohol is a hazardous base so the standard CLP that’s provided is of no use to you 🙂 x

I hate those wee tramps !

Ooh! I haven’t got this email What do you mean extended purchasing date? Xx

Good Morning Shackers, Are you having a good weekend? The sun is shining here today. I have a few bits of work to do this morning. I want to get it done so it's not playing on my mind and I can get out for the day :0) What are you up to today? Do any of you have events? I love this time of year, the weather is getting better and warmer. Puts little spring in your step doesn't it. For those of you that have bought and are using the concentrated Mods (Cardamom & Mimosa, Peony & Blush Suede and Blackberry & Bay), have any of you tested them in Room sprays yet? I have purposely not added the SDS's for them. I added in the description on all 3 fragrances that if you want a certain percentage to let me know and I will compile the SDS's and create the labels add them to the files. I have added 3% to Peony & Blush Suede as requested. If any of you need any please let me know what it is you would like below. Have a great day guys, I will be back on later on today. <3

Cheryl Maclean can these fragrances still be used in candles and melts? I’m not too fussed about diffusers for now as I will get the mods when available to use in diffuser. But can stock up for candle and melt use? Thanks 😊

Personally, nothing that's a dupe of Lush or Bodyshop or really current perfumes/ aftershaves - other people do those and your strength is surely your unique fragrances. Perhaps vintage fragrances updated slightly but I would love a good citrus without a cloying or chemical undertone.

What is considered to be an allowable level of 'flame dancing'? I've got one scent that is great with CL16 but the flame is dancing a bit more than any of the other fragrances I have made up. It's not getting to an exceptional height, the flame is quite small actually. But it's a bit of a wriggler 💃 (Brownie points for comments including dancing flame videos so I can get an idea)

I want to know about the metal containers as well. If you are discontinuing I will have to find a new supplier asap.

Duncan can I check something re the wax melts. Such a great idea but if I ordered say black pomegranate now, as it is being modified at the moment, will I have to re order when the modified black pomegranate is available. Will the scent be different

I only went on the CS website to have a quick look at the reduced fragrances last night. I did a Drew. Drew are you listening darling 🤣🤣 Arh what the hell….. Few wicks, a few 1 litre bottles there, some glasses I’ll give a shot & some other odds etc…oh those blue glasses, yes, got to get those ♥️♥️ Also went on BV website too 😬😈 Looks at the bank account today & works out the rough customs fees…. FAINTS DRAMATICALLY & needs up her game about making friends with rich farmers with loads of acreage, hundreds of sheep & big tractors possibly?? 🤔

Hi Shackers, This weeks Hero Recipe is Lavender Spa. You deserve some rest and relaxation. Let this pure lavender fragrance oil transport you to a luxurious and serene spa. The calming scent of lavender is perfect… More for setting a calming bedroom, office, or any room where you want to feel a little more Zen. Lavender is a controversial fragrance, you either love it or hate it. Personally, we love it! That’s why we have chosen it for our featured recipe of the week! Check out our 20cl Lavender Spa in CS1 recipe now on our website and decide for yourself if you are a lavender lover. You can purchase a candle to smell, test or just light in your home. Visit our website http://ow.ly/bUXj50IAEBz As you all know I am not a great lover of Lavender, I absolutely hated this one. However, after testing this in RCX at home I actually love it. I don't like it in any other wax only RCX. What are your thoughts on lavender?

I asked this question last week about renaming ideas. Search my name, there were some good suggestions in the comments. I ended up calling it 'Hera' after the Greek Godess as I can imagine that's what she would smell like 😂 xx

Oh damn it. I forgot to order another fragrance I wanted 😭😭 Ugh.

Hi! Is anyone destashing and 500ml / 1ltr fragrances?🙊🥰

Thanks so much!

Hi not sure if silly question… wondered about everyone’s wax melts? I test with 4, 4 hour burns….. after maybe 2nd or 3rd burn HT declines and becomes almost nothing, some FO more than others. Does everyone also find this with theirs? I use HPM with 10% fo … thanks 😊

What ratio works best when mixing soy and paraffin wax and best temp to add fragrance TIA

It's now called winter fae as lush have trademarked the name snow fairy x

Is there anything you guys haven’t thought of? Love it! X

This is a very smile making list! Thank you for the updates 😊

If I may say, try to put two wooden wicks instead of just one, also a couple of drops of fragrance oil on them before pouring the wax will help them burn too. This technique works every time for me 😇

Hi all, i've got a candle that has 2x eco 0.5. The HT is amazing but the candle is not reaching full meltpool. What can I do to increase meltpool but not lose the HT? **30cl, 10% FO, Kerax 4135 wax**

Can anyone recommend fragrances/essential oils that don’t irritate pets/pet friendly? *photo of my hairball for attention*

I need one of these X

No cracking with RCX and a preheat glass

Persian Bazar

Melt to 80, add fo 78 pour at 70

I don’t understand the question… do you mean on your label or on your clp? I might be being a bit thick…

Snow fairy Rhubarb and custard Sauvage Unstoppables fresh Alien

Are they OK for melts too?

Happy Bank Holiday! To those of you that use the essential oil blends....what's your go-to % in melts? We use soy and 8% FO in candles and melts but looking to dabble in the EOs! Thanks for any advice ❤️

Maybe try daffodil

Good morning all, What percentage of fragrance do you use on your wax melts? I tested Damson Plum at 10%, c & h throw brilliant. However, as all melted it felt like it’s getting into my eyes ( if this makes sense😅). Is this normal? Have a lovely Friday y’all. Xx

Hi Shackers, this is a long shot but if anybody knows it will be one of you guys! I am really fond of Air Wick Pacific Waves (I'd go as far as saying emotionally attached lol) and would like to know if there is any CS FO that is similar? Would love to add it to my candle range!

Thank you so much! 🤗 There is a couple there I will try x

I use the damson, plum at 8% in 464 :)

Chanel no 5 would be amazing Cheryl! I have been testing a FO from another company for some time with no joy. And, would like it if all my products came from Candle shack 😊 x

I've ordered some, so fingers crossed!

Hi Sharon, pop me a message x

I love black amber & lavender, works well in my cocosoy with CL wick , what % have you used in the diffuser? sandalwood vanilla & patchouli is also amazing ……I do have my eyes on the elderflower & gooseberry!!

Hi there! I was looking for recommendations for a really relaxing Candle Shack fragrance that isn’t lavender. Thank you!🥰

I chose this fragrance for a jubilee candle and have spent all day playing around with a label (not quite finished yet). So testing the fragrance now as not used before. I made a guess on a CL10 wick with 8% in 20cl. Problem - cannot smell anything much! Has anyone had success with this fragrance in RCX please?

I did a covering letter explaining who I was,and about my products. I put sample melts inside and hand delivered to farm shops, hair dressers,got a wholesale order from it, and a hair dresser stocks some items for me x

👀😂 I have a 50g tester of Marine, it is lovely but I do get the sense that it would be a subtle scent! Not sure why?! As you know I use 4105 which is also a rapeseed blend so I'll let you know if I get any ht when I make a tester 😂

I‘m not familiar with the wax you’re using but there’s a couple of things you could try. 1) Lower your fragrance percentage. 2) Try a new wick family. If you search for „wick yield table“ in the group you should find a table comparing how the different wicks/sizes compare to each other. 3) Do what you don’t want to do, add another wick (two much smaller ones though) Regarding the throw, an important thing to remember when testing candles and wanting to keep your sanity „NOT EVERY OIL WORKS IN EVERY WAX“, some oils simply don’t throw as much as you want them to. Find some that work and then fine tune your testing.

Yeah we use C3 and RCX

Blueberry and vanilla

You can have them made for you , around £25... only people with correct software etc can make them

I have it in CS1, 7% LX16 in 30cl lotti glass, haven't tried it in a tin

Hi all thanks for letting me join the group. I have been in business selling candles and wax melts for just over a year now and am currently testing reed diffusers. I'm trying to find out the current IFRA 49th amendment thing for Rhubarb Gin FO but the S4C website only seems to have the 48th. Can anybody help? Need to find out if the % allowed is worth trying to make a diffuser with this FO or not

I thought it was ok as long as its liquid sealed in a bag within the box, incase it bursts. Ive never destashed FO, but have bought and its been sent RM

Hey Shakkers. 🙋🏼‍♀️ I’ve been making melts for a couple of years now and I have been asked by a couple of my regular customers for diffusers. Can anyone tell me the best fragrances to use, the strong ones, maybe the ones that are already modified or not affected by the changes as I need to move fast as they are gifts and don’t have much time for research with all my other orders and I just can’t say ‘no’ to people.🤦🏼‍♀️ ( 3.24am and still making) Is there anything extra or different to wax melts that I need to do in order to sell these..!! Thanks in advance for all of your advice and time taken to reply.😅🥰 (Pic so I don’t get lost)

It could also be the airflow in your room where they are, Try moving them somewhere secluded to see

I don’t remember the parameters recommended for C3 but if they are correct , then maybe you should check the other factors like the cooling method and the room temperature.

No if you change the name that is what has to be on the clp, I rename all of my fragrances

Hi all, Has the update on the modifications for the FO been announced yet? I can’t seem to see the latest update! Many thanks

What a fantastic idea 👏

You can use upto 3% but you need to check the ifra for the safe usage amount in wash off products! So if something is over 3% on the category it used to be 9a but I think it's been changed and not sure what too but they will have a chart and it will state what each category covers. But if it says 0.5% is maximum usage that's the most you can use in wash off products! Always always weigh them in grams and don't use pipettes treasure them in ml as they arnt even close to accurate and arnt intended to be it's like saying you measure wax by the measurements on a jug! It's simply not something you should be doing let alone advising someone else should do 🙄🙄 Please don't take advice from someone who doesn't have a clue about cosmetic laws what fiona is telling you is not only inaccurate, its not nessicarly safe and she gifts them out without an assessment so what's she's doing is also illegal please don't take advice from someone who has zero care for the law or safety!

Clp advise please Can you use the same CLP label for a candle as you use for melts (same fo and quantity) and then attached a candle instruction label ? Tia

I send Hermes and say they’re wax melts 🙈

Velvet peony and oud 👌🏼

Very rarely do I go over an Lx 16 with cs1 14 and 16 being the wicks I use in 30cl . Sometimes you will find dropping your oil percentage will steady the flame, also can improve the HT .

Ooh! I noticed the details for. Tuscan Herbs changed to the new mod the other day😍 and now Verbena🥰 Are they still the normal amount for candles or 3-5% like peony blush? X

I find a firm tap of the jug on the bench before pouring helps with this. Also when stirring in the oil try not to whisk air into it, rather steady slower stirring for two minutes using a big lollipop stick or metal stirrer.

Only want £200 ONO for the lot

Hello shackers. Need some fragrance ideas .. I’ve a corporate order and it’s going to be a regular thing. Potentially 500 but want to try something different for them. I have the time to buy and make into wax melts to test the fragrances. What do people suggest?

You used RCX. Is that a container wax or pillar?

I use stab 12 with c6 in 20cl

Morning all can someone please help me out. Can anyone tell me or have a list of fragrances that have the banned ingredient please. Thank you in advance.

Love it!! I have it in my car air freshener and everyone always comments on it!

Can anyone pls help me. I’m just testing my ecosoya cb 135 (90%) and paraffin (10%) candle with FO 8%. Cure time 7days. I know i need to wick up, but is it normal for my candle to sweat like this when lit up? 🤔 CT is great, HT 7/10. Thank you

Could I take alien please?x

I am selling my fragrances, £150 for the lot or Each picture has price on it. I am happy to combine post cost if ordering more than 1 item. Total comes to £179.00 if sold separately but Will sell as a bundle for all at £150.00 will post out or collection ST HELENS MERSEYSIDE

Morning Everyone 🥰 Any suggestions on some beautiful fresh Summer Fragrances in candles using RCX with a strong Hot Throw? Also in Diffusers please 🥰 Thank you in advance for all your continued help ❤️❤️
