Candle Colour Dye Pastilles
Couldn't load pickup availability
Our candle colour dye comes in pastille form and is a colouring agent for container candles, pillar candles, and wax melts. These high quality pastilles are superior to dye blocks and dye chips and will produce a strong, vibrant colour. They provide good burning behaviour and colour stability. Each colour pastille contains the same colour content, allowing you to create the same shade every time.
5g - approximately 250 pastilles per packet
20g - approximately 1000 pastilles per packet
Please note that based on customer feedback indicating that our pink dye does not accurately represent a true pink, we have decided to rename the colour "magenta" to better reflect its purplish-red hue. Please note that the colour produced remains unchanged and is consistent with the photograph provided.
Instructions
Add pastille to liquefied wax when temperature is at 80°C to 85°C. Do not overheat, as spots can form. Stir for approximately 2 minutes until the colour has completely dissolved and incorporated into the wax. Add fragrance if desired and pour at recommended pouring temperature.
For pastel colours, use 1 pastille per 150g - 170g of wax. Due to pink being a stronger colour, 1 pastille per 300g of wax is recommended for a pastel colour. Coral pastilles can also make red if enough is used.
Photos have been provided for representation only. The numbers indicate how many pastilles were used to make each colour shade. Pictured candles are made with 170g of unscented soy pillar wax. The type of wax and fragrance oil will affect the outcome of the colour. You can darken or lighten individual colours by using more or less wax per pastille. Please conduct your own testing for accurate colour representation.
WARNING
- These dyes are only to be used for candle making. Do not use for bath bombs or soaps.
- Always store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store below 30°C.
- Avoid crushing pastilles, as they will stain.
Please refer to SDS before use.

How To Use
Silicone Candle Moulds:
Thread the wick through the centre of the mould and secure it in place with a wick holder. For best results, gently warm the inside of the mould with a heat gun before pouring, especially for designs with fine details, lettering, deep textures, or narrow areas. This helps the wax flow into small details more evenly and can reduce trapped air bubbles and visible pour lines.
Pour in your melted wax and allow it to cool and fully set before carefully unmoulding. Depending on the wax used, a second pour may be required to level the base. Always keep the heat gun moving and avoid overheating the silicone.
Acrylic PVC Candle Moulds:
Thread the wick through the wick hole and secure it with a wick holder. Seal the hole with Blu Tack to prevent leaking, then pour in your melted wax. A second pour may be needed depending on the wax used. Allow the candle to set fully before unmoulding. If needed, gently squeeze the sides of the mould to help release the candle.
Concrete Trays & Vessels:
Mix your chosen casting material according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then pour it into the mould. Gently tap the mould to help release trapped air bubbles and allow the piece to cure fully before demoulding.
If using the finished vessel for candles, apply at least two coats of a suitable heat-resistant sealer to the inside and outside. Allow the sealer to dry and cure completely before adding wax.
Mould Performance & Storage
Our silicone moulds are handcrafted from premium platinum-cure silicone, chosen for its durability, flexibility, tear resistance, and long lifespan. While the silicone can withstand high temperatures, prolonged exposure to excessive heat should be avoided.
Mould life will vary depending on the material used and frequency of casting. Abrasive materials such as concrete may gradually wear down fine details, while non-abrasive materials such as wax are much gentler on the mould. Avoid overstretching and do not use sharp tools or fingernails when demoulding.
Before storing, wash the mould with a mild soap solution and allow it to dry completely. Two-part moulds should be reassembled and stored flat in a cool, dry place to help maintain their shape.
Please note: Each mould is poured and trimmed by hand, so minor exterior imperfections may occur.
