How much UV stabilizer should I use in candle wax?
Recommended dosage is 0.2% to 0.4% of total wax weight:
• 0.2% (minimum): 1/4 tsp per pound of wax
• 0.3% (recommended for neon, fluorescent, or very light pastels): ~3/8 tsp per pound
• 0.4% (maximum): 1/2 tsp per pound of wax
Important: More is not better — do not exceed 0.4% by weight, as overdosing can cause oily surface residue or cure failure.
When do I add UV stabilizer to candle wax?
Always add UV stabilizer to melted wax BEFORE adding dye or fragrance oil. Stir thoroughly for 1 to 2 minutes so it disperses evenly.
What is the correct order of addition for additives?
1. UV stabilizer first (stir 1–2 minutes)
2. Candle dye second (stir until fully dissolved)
3. Fragrance oil last (stir gently before pouring)
