If you’ve ever noticed a slightly frosted or crystallized appearance on the surface of your candle, don’t panic! It’s not a defect, and it definitely doesn’t mean your candle is losing its magic. In fact, frosting is a perfectly natural occurrence, especially when using natural waxes like our innovative rapeseed and coconut wax blend.
So, What’s Frosting Anyway?
Frosting is just the wax returning to its natural state, trying to form crystals as it cools. Think of it like the way morning frost forms on a windowpane—it’s just nature doing its thing! It doesn’t change how cozy your space feels inside, right? Same with candles! Frosting doesn’t affect the scent or how well the candle burns, and some candle lovers even appreciate the frosted look because it shows their candle is made from pure, natural ingredients.
The Science Behind It (In a Fun Way)
Here’s the “sciencey” part: Wax is made up of different molecules, and as it cools and hardens, these molecules like to rearrange themselves. Natural waxes—like rapeseed and coconut—are especially prone to this because they’re, well, natural! There are no chemicals or additives to stop this natural process, and that’s actually a good thing. The frosting happens because the wax is cooling at different rates, forming tiny crystals that give that frosty look. The colder the environment, the more likely frosting is to occur. In the candle world, frosting is like nature’s way of showing off the wax’s authenticity.
Why It Doesn’t Affect the Candle’s Quality
Rest assured, frosting doesn’t impact how your candle smells or burns. In fact, it’s just one of the quirky characteristics of using pure, natural waxes. The candle will still fill your room with those luxurious fragrances, and the burn will be just as smooth and long-lasting as always. Frosting is just your candle showing off its all-natural side, like a badge of honor! You’re still getting the same quality candle, with that same indulgent scent and clean, long-lasting burn.
So next time you spot frosting, smile—it’s a little reminder that your candle is as natural as they come.
