Black Candle Pigment 20g

The Secret to a True, Fade-Resistant Black

Are you tired of black dyes that look more like dark purple or fade over time when exposed to light? Our Black Pigment is the ultimate solution for achieving a truly opaque, jet-black finish.

Unlike a dye that dissolves, a pigment consists of ultra-fine solid particles that remain suspended in the wax. This is what gives it its incredible opacity and UV-resistant properties. However, this particle nature also means it must be used correctly to avoid performance issues.

Primary Recommended Use: Over-Dipping Candles

This is the safest and most effective way to use this pigment.

1. First, create your candle using white or lightly coloured wax.
2. In a separate pot, melt a small amount of wax and thoroughly mix in the black pigment to create a rich, black coating wax.
3. Dip your finished, cooled candle into the black coating wax. The result is a beautiful, solid black outer shell with a core that will burn cleanly.

Advanced Technique: Deepening Black Wax (Use With Caution)

To add depth to a candle already coloured with black dye:

• Add a very small amount of black pigment to your dyed wax.
• CRITICAL: You must use a thicker wick than you normally would (wick up one or two sizes) to help prevent clogging. Thorough testing is essential to ensure a proper burn.

Creative Tip: Creating Greys & Silvers

Create a stunning spectrum of modern grey and silver shades by adding just a tiny pinch of this potent black pigment to a white wax like CA60.
