Our Wax: How Coconut Apricot Wax Is Made





At Nahar Candle Company, we believe what you burn matters.
That belief begins with our wax.

We use 100% coconut apricot wax — a premium, plant-based wax known for its clean burn, smooth finish, and gentle presence in the home. Below, we invite you to learn exactly how coconut apricot wax is made and why it’s one of the cleanest candle waxes available.


 Step 1: Sourcing Plant-Based Ingredients

Coconut apricot wax begins with natural, renewable plant sources:

  • Coconut oil, derived from mature coconuts

  • Apricot kernel oil, extracted from the seeds inside apricot pits

These plant-based oils are chosen for their clean properties, sustainability, and gentle nature, making them ideal for candle wax intended for indoor spaces.

Unlike paraffin wax, which is petroleum-based, coconut apricot wax starts with ingredients rooted in nature.


 Step 2: Gentle Oil Extraction

Once sourced, the oils are extracted using low-heat or cold-press methods.
This approach helps preserve the integrity of the oils while avoiding harsh chemical solvents.

Why this matters:

  • Cleaner oils lead to cleaner burning candles

  • Low-heat processing maintains consistency and purity

  • The result is a wax that’s safer for everyday use


 Step 3: Refining the Wax for Candle Use

After extraction, the oils are carefully refined and blended to create a candle-safe wax.
Refining removes impurities while ensuring the wax burns evenly and holds fragrance properly.

This step is essential for:

  • Minimal soot

  • Smooth, creamy candle surfaces

  • A consistent, reliable burn

Refined does not mean harmful — it means safe, stable, and intentionally prepared for use in candles.


 Step 4: Finished Coconut Apricot Wax

The finished coconut apricot wax is formed into clean flakes or pellets, which is how it arrives at our studio.

From here, the wax is gently melted, blended with thoughtfully chosen fragrance oils, and hand-poured in small batches — transforming it into the candles you bring into your home.
