Easy DIY Scented Wax Tablet 香薰蠟片 (Palm-free Recipe included)

New video on making scented wax tablets/sachets - to place/hang in your drawers, wardrobes and anywhere you like! These make perfect gifts for your friends and family. These are also very easy to make and best crafts to be made during lockdown times! I hope everyone is well and we can go back to our normal daily lives!! :(

Wax tablets are scented wax that you can hang around your house, leaving aroma around your house just like candles but without the fire hazards.

Recipe used in the video:
Beeswax : Soywax (1:1)
5-10% Fragrance/Essential oils

Tips for calculating your total volume:
1. Find out how much the total volume of your mould weighs
2. Times that total volume in grams by 0.8 to account for the different density between wax and water. Basically 0.8 is the magic number you multiply your mould cavity volume by to get the weight of the wax you need.

Other very useful tips when making wax tablets:
- Let the melted wax cool down a bit before adding in the essential oils or you will denature them and the scent will be lost!
- Let the wax set up and cool down until you can at least see the borders of the mould before adding your botanicals on top if you want them seen on top of the tablet. They will sink to the bottom if you add it right away especially if they are tiny as the lavender buds.

You can make these just using beeswax or just with soy wax as well! The use of the combination just makes it a harder bar! Stearic acid will make it even harder and longer lasting and I prefer them with the humid area in Hong Kong. You can check out the finish product of using stearic acid in the formula instead of soywax in the previous video: https://youtu.be/kVMa7kQMjVs
