Remove from heat and allow to cool to 70°C. Add your chosen Fragrance Oil and stir thoroughly.
Add a few Orange Dye Chips to the wax and stir until fully dispersed. Keep adding more chips until you reach your desired colour.
Carefully pour the wax mixture into the Pumpkin Mould.
Leave to fully cool and harden for approximately 2–4 hours. Then you can carefully remove from the mould. Your Pumpkin Wax Melts are now ready to enjoy.

Using ParaSoy Professional Melt Wax ensures a smooth finish and strong scent throw, while orange dye chips add a rich pumpkin glow.

Dye Chips – Strong, stable colour with minimal performance impact
