Follow our full video guide here, or read through the instructions below!
1. Melting the wax: Take your two jugs of wax and melt them separately on a double boiler.
2. Adding the fragrance oil: Once the wax reaches 70 degrees and has completely melted, add in the 10g of fragrance oil to each portion of wax. Stir for approx. 2 minutes to ensure even distribution.
3. Adding your colour: When the wax reaches 72 degrees, mix in 2.5 grams of coloured Mica Powder, each colour to their respective container. Again stir for approx. 2 minutes to ensure even distribution.
4. Preparing the containers: Lay out your 10-cavity wax bar containers on a flat and even surface. Ensure the surface is clean and dry to prevent any type of moisture from getting inside.
5. Pouring the wax: Begin pouring the coloured mixtures from the end of the container, slowing moving towards the centre to create a two-colour effect. NOTE: You must only start this process AFTER the wax has cooled to under 55 degrees to prevent melting the containers.
6. Curing your wax bars: Let your wax bars cool and cure overnight. You'll know the wax bars are ready once they've fully set and hardened. We recommend 12-24 hours for curing.
And there you go! You've successfully created Two-Colour wax bars. Of course you can feel free to change up the recipe with whatever fragrance oil or colour combination you wish. Another idea: Fragrance Oil - Candyfloss + Blue & Pink coloured Mica Powder.
