Why is it important to respect the resting time of each raw material in handmade candles?

Discover why the curing time of wax, jesmnite, and fragrances is essential to ensure the quality and durability of your handmade candles.

Introduction

In the world of handcrafted creation, time is a silent—yet powerful—ingredient. Respecting the curing and resting times of jesmonite , soy wax , and aromas ensures high-quality, durable, and safe pieces.

Jesmonite: healing time

• Initial cure: 12 to 24 hours;
• Full cure: up to 7 days;
• If used prematurely, it may break or become deformed.

Soy wax: allow to solidify slowly.

• Allow to rest for 24 to 48 hours to properly set the fragrance;
• It prevents sinking or cracking;
• Ensures even combustion.

Aromas: fixation and balance

• They need time to fuse with the wax;
• Candles with more balanced and intense scents.
