Powdered Candle Dye

Powdered candle dye is a strong concentrated colouring material intended for candle making and marketed as a fine, free-flowing powder. The dyes will not break down or change colour when exposed to the heat of melted wax.

The powder easily disperses into melted wax and yields vibrant, consistent colours in the candle. Powdered dyes are unlike liquid dyes in that they have some advantages: they have a longer shelf life, won't affect the wax consistency as much, and offer greater colour control since you can measure out specific amounts. Not much is needed - usually only a pinch or half teaspoon can colour 1 kg of wax.

Powdered colours for candles do range from basic primary colours to specialty colours. The powder can be applied to all types of major candle wax, including paraffin, soy, and palm wax, though the final depth of the colour might vary depending on the kind of wax being used and its natural colour.

When using powder dye, it is important to introduce the powder into the wax at the proper temperature (usually 80-85°C or 185°F) and mix it thoroughly to ensure proper distribution. Powder should be stored in a cool, dry place and away from sunlight in order to maintain its potency and prevent clumping. Remember, a little bit goes a long way.
