Liquid Candle Dye
Highly concentrated liquid colorants specifically formulated for candle wax. Liquid dyes are easy to measure, mix uniformly, and create vibrant colors However, liquid candle dyes can stain, have a strong smell due to the base used to mix with the wax, and can be messy - so dye chips can be easier to use. Add liquid dye to melted wax before fragrance. Start with small amounts—a little goes a long way.
