If we had to pick one wax for all makers of any experience level, CandleScience Coconut Apricot Wax is it. Through extensive research and testing, our lab has developed a user-friendly, single-pour container wax that makes it easier to achieve the strong hot throw and smooth tops found in luxury candles. And, the cure time is just one to two days!

This wax features the ability to create multi-wick candles in containers with diameters as small as 3.25”, which elevates both the aesthetic and fragrance intensity of your candle line while minimizing your costs. Learn more about how to calculate your costs in our article on How to Price Your Candles.

Benefits

  • Luxury apricot wax blend
  • Elevated multi-wick aesthetic
  • Single-pour with smooth tops
  • Excellent hot throw
  • Minimal frosting
  • Good color retention
  • Enhanced UV protection

Our custom blend of apricot, coconut, and soy includes a UV additive that protects candles from yellowing and dyed candles from fading due to light exposure. Our formulation minimizes frosting, allows for bolder use of color, and the inclusion of paraffin is key to this wax’s strong fragrance throw.

Candle Maker's Notes
A unique feature of this wax is that a traditional melt pool, where the wax is fully melted to the edge of the container, isn’t necessary. As long as the wax continues to melt and slide into the wax, the wax will be fully utilized.

See our lab notes for details on how to conduct your burn testing.

1 lb Heat-Safe Bags
Our custom wax is offered in 1 lb heat-safe, BPA-free bags for testing. No metal pouring pitcher is needed.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Too much soot with a single wick? Try double- or triple-wicking with smaller wicks. Containers with diameters larger than 3.25” will likely need more than one wick.
  • Wet spots? Warm your jars before pouring your wax and/or pour your wax at a warmer temperature.
  • Visible striations or layers in your dyed candles? Pour the wax at a slightly warmer temperature.
  • Trying to find the right wick for your CandleScience Coconut Apricot Wax candles? Our Wick Guide will help get your testing started.

Perfect Pour
Storm 2025-03-25

I have been making candles for many years. I always used the coconut/soy blend. I hated the way my colors faded and the tops frosted over time. I finally decided to try this wax and I'm very happy with the appearance, however the cold throw is pretty much non existent. I'm not sure what to do about that. How are my customers supposed to know what the candle smells like?

How refreshing to finally find the perfect wax for my business!! Smooth and so easy to use. It has been a game changer and my number one wax to go to. It settles so quickly, although my preference is to still wait at least 1 to 2 weeks before selling new batches, I enjoy the process.

Thank you for the perfect wax.

Easy to use, beautiful tops, excelent HT, not that good CT
Melina 2025-03-18

I love this wax after using 444 and 464 before. Its texture is amazing, I heated to 185F, tried 7 and 9% FO and noticed the following:
1. Glass adhesion: two candles separated from the container from six and I live in a very hot weather
2. Very smooth and beautiful tops
3. When I reached 185F and added FO, the temperature reached lower than the recommended 170F for pouring, so I had to reheat a little to get to the recommended 170F.
4. HT amazing with 9%, 7% not that strong.
5. CT very mild, is there anyway to achieve a nice CT with this wax?
Will buy again, but would really like the CT to relflect the amazingness of this wax blend...

Excellent HT - Mild CT
Melina 2025-03-17

I have just started using this wax, I used 7% and 10% FO. HT is amazing with 10% and the wax itself looks amazing too, but CT is very mild. Anyone know how to increase CT…
