The Candlehounds' Candle Crafting Process

At The Candlehound, we pour our passion and expertise into every step, ensuring that each candle we create is a masterpiece of fragrance and ambiance. Join us as we unveil the magical process of handcrafting our candles.

1. Ingredient Selection: The first step in creating our candles is carefully selecting the finest ingredients. We start with premium natural soy wax, known for its clean burn and eco-friendly properties. Soy wax is sourced from soybean oil, making it a renewable and sustainable choice. We also choose high-quality fragrance oils and essential oils that are thoughtfully blended to create captivating scents that will fill your space with enchanting aromas.

2. Wax Melting: Once we have our ingredients, we melt the soy wax using precise temperatures and techniques. This ensures that the wax reaches its optimal melting point, allowing for even distribution of fragrance and a smooth, flawless finish. Melting the wax requires patience and expertise to achieve the perfect consistency for pouring.
3. Fragrance Blending: Creating the perfect fragrance is an art form. We meticulously blend fragrance oils and essential oils, experimenting with different combinations to find the ideal scent profiles. Each fragrance blend is carefully crafted to evoke emotions, memories, and a sense of tranquility when our candles are lit. We take pride in offering unique and captivating scents that will enhance your space.

4. Wick Preparation: The wick plays a vital role in the performance of our candles. We select lead-free cotton wicks that are specifically sized for each candle's diameter. Before placing the wick in the container or mold, we prime it by dipping it in a mixture of wax and other additives. This priming process helps the wick burn evenly and enhances its stability throughout the candle's life.

5. Pouring and Setting: With the wax melted, fragrance blended, and wicks prepared, it's time to pour the liquid wax into our carefully chosen containers or molds. We pour the wax slowly and steadily, ensuring a precise and controlled pour that minimizes air bubbles and ensures an even distribution of fragrance. Once poured, the candles are left to set and cure, allowing the wax to solidify and bond with the fragrance, resulting in a consistent burn and optimal scent throw.
6. Finishing Touches: After the candles have set, we add the finishing touches that make each candle unique. This may include trimming the wicks to the appropriate length, adding labels or tags, and packaging the candles with care. Each candle is inspected to ensure its quality and beauty before it is ready to be handed out and enjoyed.

At The Candlehound, we take great pride in our candle crafting process. Every step is infused with precision, expertise, and a touch of artistry. We pour our heart and soul into creating candles that not only fill your space with captivating scents but also elevate your ambiance and create moments of serenity.

Experience the magic of our handcrafted candles, where passion meets craftsmanship, and let them ignite your senses and brighten your space with their warm glow.
