One of the main widespread queries we have on general candle building is how to build a white candle. In the past, products such as stearic acid, gloss polymers or even titanium dioxide were used to make a candle white. Each of the mentioned products were good for making the candle white and are still very good means for doing so, but in some instances they do have some inherent problems. For example, titanium can clog the wick and keep it from burning; the gloss polymers can raise the melt point of the wax in containers; and in some instances these products do not get the candle white enough.
To assist the candle maker in making a candle white, we have started manufacturing a white color button. This is in coordination with our new line of color buttons. This new white color button will color your candle white when used with 10-15 pounds of wax. Like any dye, this button should not be used in excess because it can also affect the burning properties.
