- A step by step video of how I make my scoopable wax. So many people have never heard of it. And still there are those that have a lot of trouble getting it just right.
Here is the recipe:
Experiment with different oils to find which one you like better. I use vegetable oil.
Making Scoopable Wax
You will need:
16 oz. Good quality soy wax
12 oz. Canola, Coconut, Olive, Vegetable, or your choice liquid oil
4 oz. of Fragrance oil
Your choice of colorant
Directions
1. Use scale and measure out your wax, oil, and fragrance.
2. In double boiler, melt wax to 175 degrees.
3. Add your liquid oil…stir thoroughly.
4. Add fragrance oil and if desired, your colorant.
This recipe will make 8 - 4oz containers.
Now this recipe I found doesn't include any other helpful instructions so the whipping technique is extra.
Pour your mixture into a metal or glass bowl. Cover with cling wrap and chill for about 15 to 20 minutes in freezer, just long enough to have hardened outsides and top but still soft on inside. Next, scrap the hardened mixture off the sides and stir in with the softer part and when you mix that together, get a hand mixer and whip, whip, whip! If it's too hard, let it soften a bit and that second round of whipping will make it soft and creamy. Pour into your jars and it will set over night. Just use any spoon and scoop it out. Good luck!
All wax, fragrance oils, and candle dyes were purchased at

God is so good been looking everywhere for a recipe
Is there a cure time on scoopable wax
@@nitarussell2940 I let mine Cure for 3 to 5 day's
I followed your instructions last night and it turned out fantastic. The scent throw is great!
+Lse Homan Yesssss!! I am so happy that yours turned out so good! :)
Thanks for this tutorial am going to try it mabe wiith a different oil as well
This video was very helpful.Thank you very much.
I use Crisco. That is what they made candles out of anyway.. LOL I use it for my scoopables and Loaves to melt. Works pretty good and there's no odor, I'm going to try grape seed oil too. Best of luck to you! xo
Thank you very much! :)
Hi, thanks for posting your comment about crisco because I was about to make tarts and wasn't sure if it could be done without the more expensive waxes. How did it go?
Thanks for the tutorial! Your son being Steven Spielberg made me lol, subscribing! xoxo - Phoebe
Sound wold have been good.
Sweet Almond Oil or Another one light like that should be used. Not Cooking oil. And Ecosoya Q210 (aka Ecosoya CB135) is the safest wax for Various Skincare + Melts, Scoopable Wax + Candles In and Jar, Container, Tin etc it holds the FO & EO Excellently In bot Hot & Cold scent Throw.
Hi thank you for sharing! Can I use my wax melter pot versus the double boiler or will that make to much of a difference?
love your video but no sound , can this recipe be cut in half , thanks for your reply
Definitely want to try this ,could I use olive oil or Almond oil
Hi Ladonia, love your video!!!! Question though, could I use an ice cream scoop instead of putting them in jars??? I have seen a video where a gal made ice cream scoopable wax.
+Lisa Bowers Hi Lisa! Why not? That's a great idea, I might try doing that myself. Just let it set in the bowl, then scoop it out...way easy LOL! Thank you!! :)
After you put it in the cup after an hour is it still like this or hardens up alittle
Where do you get your containers? :) Thank you so much for this tutorial!
+Tiffany Herbert Hi! I got my containers from my local candle supply store. It's in the description. Thanks for watching!
Where is the sound
Looks like a lot of FO. It holds more than tarts then? I may try this, never heard of this before. Thanks for posting.
DonutCare Yes, I tried lesser amounts of FO but the scent wasn't strong enough for a good throw, maybe because of the added oil. And you're welcome! :)
Lovely video, I made an 20oz candle using soy wax I measured 3tsp of fragrance oil. My issue is I'm still having trouble with measuring the fragrance, also having issues with the candle cracking on top while drying. What am I doing wrong?
+reddrum eyecandy You should probably weigh your oils. :) Also, what temperature do you pour the wax into the container at?
+reddrum eyecandy It might help if you use a soup calculator. It helps me to know exactly how many ounces is in a tablespoon, etc so I can weigh my fragrances by ounce.
you need to weigh your oils bc some oils are heavier or lighter than others. 3 teaspoons of FO will not be the same for different oils. you could be short changing your project or wasting oil. if you're using 9% FO load, your 20oz candle should have 1.8oz of FO and 18.2oz of wax. thats the most efficient way to do it with no wasting wax or fragrance. blessings.
as for the cracking on top, your wax is cooling too fast. maybe you have a draft in your cooling space?
Adding your fo at such a high temp, does it burn off the fragrance?
Thank you!!!!??
Does it make a difference if you use regular glitter vs edible glitter?
+Erika Rae I have never tried edible glitter, but it shouldn't hurt at all.
Where can you get the container for the final product
I get my containers from my local candle supply company. Southwest Candle Supply.
Could you use rice brab oil?
How long would these stay good or do you have to use them up fast?
What wax are you using
why didn't you just measure out your wax in the metal pouring jug to begin with, surely that would have been easier instead of having to transfer it from one jug to the other, but great demo although would have preferred to hear you speaking.
What type of wax did you use?...
I used 464 soy wax.
Great that's what I use...do you have a after pic or how long does it have to set before using?...
Katrika Moore If you make it at night, you can let it sit overnight. Or let sit for about 3 hours.
Katrika Moore Also I would wait 24 to 48 hours before using.
OK Thanks ...keep up the excellent work
Doesn't the extra cooking oil make it much more flammable and dangerous
Why do you use the vegetable oil for and what does it do to the wax melts?
makes the wax scoopable lol otherwise it would become solid like a candle in that jar
can you use paraffin wax?
Hi! Yes, you can use either soy or paraffin wax.
Jacqueline Nash can you use beeswax ? I've read soy and paraffin are toxic
mstexascowgirl2 paraffin is a petrollium by product and soy is natural, so it's not toxic, it's really whatever you want to use...soy is generally a softer wax and used more for tarts and melts
Tisha Tittle soy is used for candles more than melts because its soft lol it breaks easily when coming of molds and doesn't have a clean snap in clamshells like paraffin does
How long does it take to set once in the container ? X
why is there no sound ?
+Nicole Watkins Because there was too much interference so I chose to add captions and delete sound.
Oh ok.
Thanks for the hints! I think my scoop wax will be better now. Thanks so much!
