The different types of candle dyes and their uses

To personalize your DIY candles, opt for grain, liquid dyes or even marble paints. Bekro granular dyes, ideal for easy incorporation and undisturbed combustion, require approximately 3g per 1kg of wax. Liquid dyes, on the other hand, offer intense coloring with only 15 ml per 1 kg of wax and are particularly suitable for paraffin wax. Marbling paints add an aesthetic effect to the surface of your candles. However, avoid mica powder, which can clog the wick. For optimal results, use stabilizers or stearin. Personalize as desired and create unique candles!
