Choose soy wax for eco-friendly, renewable candles derived from soybeans; it burns 40-50% slower than paraffin, is carbon neutral, and cleans up with warm water.
Calculate candle burn time using wax burn rates, weight, and container diameter; apply the formula weight divided by diameter times burn rate, with a soy wax example and Google Sheet.
This course teaches a complete candle making method so you can get consistent results, not guesswork. You will learn how to work with different waxes, choose the right wick, understand containers and dyes, and build reliable formulas.
You will also learn two scent paths that many courses do not explain clearly: how essential oils behave in candle making and how fragrance oils behave, with safety guidelines and realistic expectations. You will learn how to blend oils and fragrances, how to choose what fits your goal, and how to avoid common mistakes.
A big part of the course is testing and consistency. You will learn candle math, burn tests, curing time, and how to troubleshoot issues like tunneling, weak scent, soot, uneven burn, and poor melt pool. You will see real examples and results so you can improve your batches over time.
You will learn practical projects, including aromatherapy style container candles, massage and lotion candles, wax melts, and creative candles such as marbled, layered, spiral, and other techniques. If you want to sell, you will also learn pricing fundamentals, break even point, pricing strategy, and how to track profits and income using the included calculators and spreadsheets.
Q&A support is included, and I actively respond to questions inside the course.
You get lifetime access to the lectures and downloadable resources, and you will receive a certificate of completion when you finish the course.
