Pastel Peach Red Liquid Candle Dye (Pastel Colour for Candle Wax)
Our Peach Red pastel liquid candle dye is a soft, light shade for colouring candle wax. Add it to melted wax a little at a time, stirring well, and build up to the shade you want.
Pastel shades are ready to use, so there is no need to dilute them. Use fewer drops for the faintest tint and more for a stronger pastel. Test a small batch first, as results vary with the wax and fragrance you use. It comes in 10 ml, 30 ml and 100 ml bottles.

- Stir well. Stir thoroughly until the colour is even through the whole batch.
