Does a more complicated candle-making process always produce a better candle?
Not necessarily.
Shane McGrath, CEO of our fragrance partner Luxaroma and co-founder of ECOYA in 2003, shares an important lesson from more than two decades in home fragrance:
Complexity doesn’t equal quality. Consistency does.
Rather than adding unnecessary steps, concentrate on the variables that materially affect performance—fragrance quality and load, wax and wick compatibility, adequate cure time and thorough burn testing.
A complicated method cannot compensate for a poorly balanced formulation. Test carefully, record your results and build a process you can reproduce consistently.
