Eroma is proud to be the largest wholesaler of soy wax in Australia carrying a wide variety of soy, palm, vegetable and paraffin waxes from some of the best brands in the world - including Summit and Golden Wax. We suggest reading over our candle wax guide in order to learn more about selecting the optimal wax for your candle. Please be aware that all our candles waxes are different and each has different relevant attributes, such as melting points and pouring temperatures.

In collaboration with Luxaroma, Eroma now proudly stocks over 500 different premium fragrances. Typical usage is around 10% or 100 grams of essential oil per 1000 grams of wax. However, we also recommend that everyone conducts their own testing. It is important to check the ‘Maximum Use’ percentages of each fragrance relevant to applications. Please also be aware that not all fragrances are soap and shower compatible so please check the individual product information for more details.

Depending on the type of candle you want to make, you'll want to pick a suitable container. Container candles are easier to make than pillar candles. We recommend starting with candle tins, or frosted and coloured glassware that hide surface imperfections.

Eroma carries a number of different types of wicks and accessories to suit your candle. Wick selection will be based on a number of different variables, including the candle's size, shape, colour, wax and fragrance. We stock wicks that are pre-cut and tabbed (these are recommended as they will perfectly fit some of our other products) or alternatively, in spools. We also carry other wick accessories such as wick stickums, wick tabs and wick holders.

Eroma stocks two different styles of pouring pots that are ideal for candle makers regardless of their experience level. These include the 1.8 litre aluminium pouring pots, or alternatively, the larger wax pouring jugs that come in 1 litre, 3 litre and 5 litre capacity options.

A thermometer is critical to monitor the temperature of the wax. You can use a simple mercury thermometer or more sophisticated infrared thermometer for eas of use. Why is this important? You need to know the temperature you are heating your wax to and also your pouring temperatures. Too cold and you may get cracking; too hot and you may unnecessarily evaporate your fragrance away before the candle sets. The infrared thermometer is ideal as it has a long extension cord for hands-free candle making and monitoring of your temperature and alarms which can advise you when your wax has reached the correct temperature. We also carry a digital thermometer (our recommendation).

Paper towels, rubbing alcohol (an easy way to clean your pot before it cools completely), newspaper to cover your work surface, calculator, stirring utensil, stickums to attach your wicks to your vessel, wick holder/paddle pop stick to centre your wick. In addition, warning labels are necessary to provide proper burn instructions as well as general candle safety.

We recommend utilising the double boiler method and for this you will need a stove or a hot plate for melting your wax. Alternatively, you can purchase a specifically designed Candle Wax Melter.

A good set of scales is essential for weighing your wax and fragrance oil. We recommend our digital scales for ease of use and accuracy.

Eroma carries a wide variety of candle moulds, including pillar, votive, clamshell and other unique designs. We also offer our customers candle mould accessories such as a moul pin and mould pin locator.
