Soy candle frosting is one thing that many new soy candle makers struggle with. What is it? Candle frosting is those whitish crystals that you see on the tops or sides of soy candle once it has cooled. It is very similar to how chocolate gets when it has been sitting for too long. This is part of 100% soy wax and is part of it’s character so it is very normal. I am usually able to minimize or eliminate the frosting though. Soy candles, even if they started out with no frosting, can frost if they’ve been sitting for awhile too, but it does not affect the way they burn. In fact once you light the candle and it melts the top, once it cools again, the frosting usually disappears.

However, we don’t want to throw them out because that seems like a waste of money.
