Your videos are fantastic, Allen, and I just love watching them 🙂
Aww, thank you Shelby! I hope you enjoy your Paris candle💛 Love and light 🌱
While watching your videos I’m ALWAYS in the middle of a project. Usually candles. Love hearing your insight!
Hi Bryzee!! Aww I love this so much. Love and light always 💛💛
Awesome info! Sure appreciate all the hard work you put in your channel. Your tips are greatly appreciated! 💕
You are so welcome!
Hello Allan, I’m drinking my morning coffee, relax listening to your music, and watching the video. Ty
Hi Ivon! Aww I love this!!! So glad you’re enjoying these videos.
Just got 3 more of your candles! Can’t wait to get them in the mail! ❤
I’m so excited for you! They’ll ship out Monday. Enjoy!💛🌱
I absolutely LOVE the details you do and the transparency. It helps me learn so much!
Glad you enjoyed!!!
So I did my first set of candles with Brambleberry's cocosoy blend. I have a whole sheet calc'ng the cost per 8oz candle to create. Seeing the diff. Types i was like let me check if "earthglow' has reviews before I buy a 20 - 45 lb bag from others.
Wishing you a happy & prosperous season!
Love the background music. Nice touch.
I love the jazz music!
Thanks really appreciate the way you share everything so large heartedly. Happiness always
Aww Rita, thank you for your kind words and a warm welcome. Love and light always 💛🌱
I love your videos. Always a vibe!! I sip my tea (it’s spiked hehe) and just enjoy.
Love it!
I sit back and enjoy listening to you
I love the music you choose for your videos. Not surprised when I read you had a college degree major in music. Love your videos, all of them. You are very creative.
Aww thank you!!!💛 I’m glad you enjoyed. Love and light always. 💛🌱
I’m laying down on heating pad to base of my skull cuz I’ve had so much pressure and congestion, listening to your jazz and drinking oj/apple juice mix just appreciating this break you are giving me. I personally don’t like doing most things alone so it’s more than therapeutic for me. I’m destressing bcuz this is so calming and I need that for my anxiety. I have a special needs child who also loves jazz.
I love watching you with a cup of tea, it's very relaxing and comforting watching your content.
Agreed!! It’s so soothing and the plants just give a peaceful comforting vibe while watching! ❤️
I am honored, Michael! It’s wonderful to have you here.
My plants are like my babes! They are always a part of the videos :)
@@earthglow I love your channel and your content, it's top notch!
I watch while doing my makeup in the morning!
Aww I love this Brandi! 💛🌱
Hi, Ellen. I watch in the am, so I'm drinking coffee and eating breakfast as well as researching and making/testing candles. I have used soy 10 from Cal Candle Supply, GB464 and 16/17 #7. All great. I'm working on a GB464 blend right now, so I'm testing. Have a beautiful day.
Hi Anastasia! Aww I love this so much! How do you find the hot throw compares between these three waxes? They’re all some I am actively testing too. Love and light 💛🌱
@@earthglow I've had great hot throw and cold with all. GB464 does indeed have the strongest CT and HT, but I love the buttery consistency and the best melt pool with Soy 10. I lthink 16/17 #7 is great. I really like GB464, but it's dry after I burn my candles and I know that is totally cosmetic because it works just fine. I'm trying a blend with stearic acid 2.5%, tart wax 10% and 16/17 10% and it is actually giving me smooth tops, but leaves wax residue on the sides. I live in Southern California so I am looking to make it 464 withstand higher temps. Cal Candle supply has been out of stock of soy 10 and I have a good amount of 464, so that is why I'm experimenting. I'm going to try your recipe soon with the beeswax. Love and light to you as well.🕯💛
I love all your videos i usually relax enjoying your knowledge, i would love to make one candle one day. I never did any before i just came to watch your videos because you are the best 😊
So glad you enjoyed!!! Let me know if there’s any other videos you’d like to see.
Thank you 😊 everytime I have free time I like to watch all of them and also I am in my way to visit your website and buy some candles 🕯 😊
I love ur videos. Ur content are on par. I just lay back and sip my beverage and watch ur videos 😁 the background music is likewise soothing and relaxing🤗 I occasionally use Soy 10 I think it's an excellent wax and I use CDN or HTP wicks. It throws amazingly well. Thank you for sharing the joy of candle making minus the wicked wick testing😂😂PS: I'm also obsessed with fragrance oils😀😍
Thank you so much for your comment! This the most I could ask for my channel. YES fragrance… it’s my obsession! Love and light always 💛🌱
HA! Yes, wicked wick testing is right.
im diggin the jazz
I love you passion for the candles, you are so beautiful 😻
Glad you enjoyed this one!
I’ve been testing wooden wicks the past few months. I’m no wooden wick pro but I’ve found that a 9% fragrance load gives me a better burn. I usually use 10% with cotton wicks. I have a love hate relationship with them. 😩😭
That is so interesting! Someone else said the same thing as well in the comments about 9% being the magic number. I haven’t encountered this with my wax blend but it seems with soy-10, 9% is the way to go!
@@earthglow I’m crossing my fingers for you! Hope it works out for you 🤞🏽
I was yesterday years old when I learned that you can just pull the booster off a booster wick and replace it to save yourself a wick kinda.
I am burn testing candles while watching your channel. Can’t wait for your testing with Deluxe Satin Soy and Coconut Apricot Crème! I am in a bad romance with woodwicks, I keep going back cause it is so easy to switch out the wicks, but the inconsistency drives me nuts!!! Then I run back to cotton wicks.
Hi Nicolette!! Aww, I love that you're burning your test candles and watching my videos. Yes, a bad romance with woodwicks over here too!!! At least with this Soy 10!!!! Love and light.
I'm folding Laundry while watching your video 🥰
I’m newish to candles and I have a cookie business. I am usually baking when I watch :)
Aww thank you sharing !!!💛 Love and light always. 💛🌱
Drinking coffee and testing some fragrances in the faaaaaabulous blend I learned from you a few weeks ago! I know this is about Soy 10 but you are a everything! So excited to test my 16/17 fragrances just in! #purrrr lol Ok back to the video…
Thank you so much for your comment!! Yay!! So you tried out my wax blend??? So happy for you. Love and light always 💛🌱
@@earthglow yes and it’s the best one so far! I’m new to candle making. I want to gift some luxury candles for Christmas this year and I found you two weeks ago starting this journey 😍 The ht and ct is phenomenal. You are definitely on to something. I am excited to see how the 16/17 fragrances turn out in the next batch I made today 🤗 Thanks so much for being an excellent teacher!
I've been testing wooden wick myself and just stopped using them. I'm about to test the premier 700 series. Have had good results with eco wicks right now with soy wax.
I don’t blame you. They are extremely inconsistent in a number of regards. They make for a very unique product but can easily break a business with their inconsistency.
You always seem so peaceful, I bet you never get headaches
haha i do sometimes!!
Hi Allen, I've been using a custom blend of Coconut/Soy10 for about a year now. I can tell you that this wax behaves just like Coconut wax due to its soft consistency so its recommended to treat it as such. Both HT/CT are phenomenal at 10% FO; however, 9% FO seems to work just as great while improving wooden wick performance. I totally get the frustration with wooden wicks, trying not to get discouraged myself.. Soy10 is a keeper!! 😊
Hi Les! Oh, that's excellent to know. I'll have to try 9% and see if that helps. I noticed blending a little beeswax in may be useful as well for whatever reason. Love and light always.
I don’t use soy 10 but I use coconut wax blends and wood wicks and typically use 9% to test with. I use EC26 and also Hemp Soy. I just wonder if you go down with the FO% if you’ll have a more stable flame with wood wicks. I’d be interested to see if it makes any difference
Hi Diane! Yes, two other people have said that 9% is their magic number for the wooden wicks with this wax!!! Thanks for sharing. Love and light always 💛🌱
I loooove the music 🎵🧘
Where do you get your beeswax?
I purchase it on Amazon. There should be a link in my Amazon storefront or directly in the description.
One more question: what is the inner diameter of your tins? I use the 5oz tins by Makesy, so I’m trying to do a comparison for wicking purposes. Thank you! Love your channel 🎉
the inner-diameter would be about 3 inches :)
Oh Soy 10 I really love this wax but have found it does not work well with WW even with beeswax. I have done numerous testing but need to move on to a new wax to go with my WW. I have used cotton wicks and they work great but Im really wanting my line to be mostly WW. Love the video 😊 I really tried to make it work but on to the next
Hi Irene! Oh, that’s so interesting. Yes, I definitely have struggled trying to wick it but some folks have been saying 9% FO is the charm! Love and light 💛🌱
I don't use the coconut blend waxes because they're too soft to ship on warm climates, and during the summer time it's also a concern.
Hey Michael 👋 there are some coconut wax blend that ship well all year round. Not all coconut blend are soft. Eg Coco bright by California candle supply isn't soft like Coconut 83 or Coco Apricot. Also the newest coconut blend by Northstar isn't soft either and they throw and burn beautifully well.
Which one is your favorite Queen Mother?
I use coconut apricot wax. I live in Houston, TX and it gets torturously hot here, but I haven’t had any issues with shipping my candles.
18 percent coco83 in 464 is super smooth and the hot through is great. Pour at very very low temp and zero sink hole issues and smooth!
@@abesentertrainmentreviews7532 Oh that is wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Exercising 😂 while I enjoy your video
Love it!!! Glad you enjoyed, Priscilla !
Hi Allen,
Thank you for the video. Such Beautiful plants🌿🥀🌿
The Soy 10 L@@ks Beautiful!
I use 1617 #7 wax for Candles.
Sooo many waxes😂
PeAcE
Aww thank you, Val! I’m so glad you’re here. Love and light always 💛🌱
I drink chai or coffee while I watch your videos 😊
Making candles❤
yes!!!
IM ON 🍄 😂 🎉 I’m a candlemaker. But not today! I took a dose. Made some tea and got in my cozies, and started my Sunday TH-cam videos. Also, I’m drinking a pineapple mimosa. 🤙
Thank you for the background jazz
Love it! Glad you enjoy these videos :)
Hi Allen,
Do you mind sharing which camera you use to film your videos? Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi Aziza! I use the Sony A7C and there should be a link to it under “camera equipment” in the description box of all of my videos. Love and light 💛🌱
U need a bakers cuter to get that cut up pretty fast 😅! I love coconut soy waxes
Ha! Where do you find these?
I was taking a sip of my coffee at the exact moment you said enjoy your coffee 😂 super ironic
do you add anything to have 464 scent throw better? i want to go back to 464
Hi there! I don’t add anything to it for my regular candles but for my luxury marketed ones, I do add beeswax and coconut wax. Feel free to check out my video “How I make Candles for My Business” for my full recipe. Love and light 💛🌱
I love soy-10....it does get wet spots in glass vessels but I can live with it. I live in the cold north so it's unavoidable.
I hope Allen does not mind me "staring" at his face and listening to his voice. I, literally, am distracted by his good looks (lighting helps as well) and speech (I cannot freaking hear clearly what the hell I am saying when I listen to my own audio recording!). I am not actually listening to what he is saying. I am hypnotised.
I searched for "earthy fragrance" and his video came up among others. That video's thumbnail has no face of his, so it is not his face that I clicked on his video. Hahahaha. Not due to bias on that part. The biased part is, being a human that I am, I am attracted to the word "best" and hence I clicked on that video the first. From then onwards, I did not bloody know what the heck I was watching, but I watched all the way to the end, and only then I realised....it is a channel about candle! LMAO!
Ha ha ha!!! This made me laugh. Well, we’re honored to have you here. Love and light 💛🌱
What is the cure time on soy 10 ?
I'd say give it a good week!
i use coconut apricot creme wax from maksey i sho9uld try soy 10
I am excited to test out this wax soon!!! Love and light 💛🌱
@@earthglow it is such an amazing wax i love coconut apricot cremem wax. wont ever try another wax
Which company do you go with for coconut apricot creme?
@@fastpray353 hive and honey or maksey
@@ItsJessie915 thank you dear. My friend also gets hers from Hive and Honey. So it’s good to know. Thank you!!
I have the same issues with the wooden wicks. They just need to be trimmed really low
Totally agree! Thanks for sharing, Jay, and a warm welcome!
I did find thru research that most use up to 10% paraffin in it having heard natural waxes can be too soft and that it’s necessary. I can’t remember who said it but they implied most companies are not 100% truthful when saying they are 100% natural so for me I explain it exactly this way to my customers who never even thought of these things and simply appreciate the education.
Their blend is proprietary. Also, that gets into a whole other discussion.
I am sipping an iced oat milk latte and stamping a bajillion soaps for a wholesale order ❤
Good for you!!! Love oat milk chai lattes ☕️ 💛💛💛
Did you notice a difference between 10% load and 12% load when burning?
Hi Melissa! No, I did not notice any differences other than a slightly stronger HT.
@@earthglow Thank you. I know finding the fragrance load for wax is always a challenge to. I like my candles to always have a great HT. I noticed people are starting to add bee's wax but isn't bee's wax hard to add fragrance to?
I am collecting information about candle making because I want to start a business ❤❤ with that said I will be asking you a lot of questions 😮😮😮
Go for it!
What am I doing? Googling alternative waxes, soy sounds great but really its bad for the environment. Coconut is great but farmers are often exploited. I am wondering why we can't get canola wax in north america since we produce an abundance of canola, is it just not bougie enough sounding?
i've never heard of canola wax!!! you always have to pick and choose what matters most for your business!
No spill pour, I use popsicle sticks
I’ve been using them more lately too!
Don't set your pumpkins on fire!
🤣🤣🤣
Allen, i haven't finished watching just stopped when you mentioned 100 %soy. It is not. It has parafin. Even Erica talked about it
I finished watcging now, you do mention it. 100 % soy can't give you super hot throw. On the other hand Parafin lacks in cold throw. Flat tins are not prone to sinkhole problems. The taller the jar the more sinkhole problem (depending on wax). For Jar adhesion and sinkhole test clear jars are ideal.
Hi there! Most soy waxes are fortified with soy based additives and this helps improve the scent throw. Thanks so much for your comments!
@@mrscchow-hi7uh You can get an amazing HT and CT, if you blend soy wax, or any wax. Some waxes like CAC don’t perform well using wooden wicks, in some vessels. Blending the wax makes the ww perform much better. I blend all waxes I work with and have been pleased with the outcome.
