Recipe

Notre recette de bougie est composée de :

Cire de soja : cire 100% végétale, biodégradable et vegan. Il est très facile à manipuler et à couler. Il permet de restituer parfaitement le parfum dans la pièce. C'est une solution écologique pour votre santé et votre maison.

Colorants : Pour colorer votre bougie ou créer des motifs, utilisez des copeaux de craie de la couleur de votre choix. Ces copeaux peuvent être facilement obtenus en aiguisant la craie avec un taille-crayon.

Usage

You can use your candle after allowing it to cool to room temperature and sit for 48 hours. This ensures a perfect hold of the candle!

Personalize your candle:

You can use dye mixed with hemp oil or greasy chalk shavings to color your candle. You can also use dried flowers to decorate your candle.

Precaution for use: if you want to use other EO to scent your candles, be careful not all of them are suitable for use in candles. (risk of diffusion of harmful compounds).

Precautions before starting

Avant de démarrer, il convient de nettoyer et désinfecter le plan de travail et les ustensiles : les produits préparés iront sur votre peau, et on veut éviter toute contamination microbienne !

Nettoyer soigneusement le BeautyMix. Ensuite, imbiber un chiffon propre d'alcool à 70° (disponible en supermarché) et l'utiliser pour désinfecter la cuve du BeautyMix et tous les ustensiles. Laisser sécher.

Nettoyer le plan de travail et écarter les objets qui pourraient gêner.

Poser un sopalin propre sur le plan de travail et y déposer les ustensiles. Vous aurez besoin d'une cuillère à café propre ou spatule, et d'un contenant propre et sec pour verser la préparation une fois prête. Se laver les mains soigneusement.

Bien respecter les dosages indiqués pour les ingrédients de la recette.

Respecter les dates limites d'utilisation des ingrédients BeautyMix.

Preparation

Thoroughly disinfect the worktop and the BeautyMix with alcohol and a clean paper.

Place the flat mixer in the BeautyMix tank, and place the tank on the scale. Carry out the tare (zero) by pressing the T key.

Weigh 30 grams of soy wax in the tank.

31.25 g

Place the bowl on the BeautyMix base, and press the button 3 times to start the red program until the soy wax has completely melted.

Place the wick in the center of the candle glass (holding it with a clothespin if necessary) and pour in the melted wax. This step secures the wick to the bottom of the glass, and prevents it from moving. Let the wax cool in the glass while you continue the rest of the preparation.

Put the tank back on the scale, placing the cover BETWEEN the tank and the scale to prevent heat from interfering with the weighing. Press T to reset the scale to 0, then weigh 30 grams of soy wax in the tank again. Add crayon flakes with the desired color.

Place the bowl on the BeautyMix base, and press the button 3 times to start the red program until the soy wax has completely melted. Pour in the candle glass and wait until it solidifies (patience !)

Put the tank back on the scale, placing the cover BETWEEN the tank and the scale to prevent heat from interfering with the weighing. Press T to reset the scale to 0, then weigh an additional 30 grams of soy wax into the tank. Add the desired color crayon flakes.

31.25 g

Place the bowl on the BeautyMix base, and press the button 3 times to start the red program until the soy wax has completely melted. (restart the program as many times as necessary). Pour another layer in the candle glass and, again, wait until it solidifies !

Put the tank back on the scale, placing the cover BETWEEN the tank and the scale to prevent heat from interfering with the weighing. Press T to reset the scale to 0, then add the rest of the soy wax (35 g) and the desired color crayon flakes for your last layer.

31.25 g

Place the bowl on the BeautyMix base again, and press the button 3 times to launch the red program until the soy wax has completely melted. (restart the program as many times as necessary).

Gently pour the scented wax into the jar.

Wait 30 minutes for the wax to cool a little and cut the wick to the correct height.

Once poured, the candle must be allowed to cool to room temperature, and let it rest for 48 hours before wanting to use it. This will ensure a perfect hold of the candle!

Clean your tank with hot water and soap; soy wax is easy to clean!

Et voilà !
