Formulation Service
Your New Fragrance, Perfectly Formulated. Every Time. From wick to wax to burn time, we test every element so your next candle line performs exactly as it should.
Formulation Shouldn't Be The Thing Holding You Back
Every candle maker knows the feeling. You've found the fragrance. You've picked the jar. And now you're staring down weeks, maybe months, of test pours, tunnelling wicks, weak throws, and burns that just don't behave.
For small and medium NZ candle brands, this is where new fragrance launches quietly stall. Not because the idea isn't good, but because getting the formulation right takes time, materials, and testing that most teams simply don't have spare.
We Do the R&D. You Do the Growing.
That's where we come in. Our formulation service takes your chosen fragrance and jar combination and puts it through rigorous testing, so you don't have to. We find the wick that burns clean, the fragrance load that performs, and the burn time that holds up. Then we hand you a complete, tested formulation, ready to plug straight into production.
No trial and error. No wasted wax. Just a formula that works, backed by testing, not guesswork.
How It Works
Three-Part Testing. One Perfect Formulation.
1. Wick Testing
We trial multiple wick types and sizes against your specific fragrance and jar, identifying the one that delivers a clean, even burn with no tunnelling or excess mushrooming.
2. Fragrance Load Testing
We test a range of fragrance load percentages to find the sweet spot: strong enough to deliver a genuine scent throw, balanced enough to burn safely and consistently.
3. Burn Time Testing
We run full burn cycles to confirm your candle performs the way your customers expect, from the first light to the last flicker.
The result? A complete, proven formulation covering wick, fragrance load, and burn performance, so you can launch your new line with confidence.
Why It Matters
Time Saved Is Momentum Gained
Every week spent testing formulations in-house is a week your new fragrance isn't on shelves or selling online. Our formulation service gives you back that time, along with the confidence that your candles will perform consistently, batch after batch.
It means:
- Faster launches. Go from concept to production-ready formulation in weeks, not months.
- Fewer wasted resources. Skip the failed test pours and mismatched wicks.
- Consistent quality. A formulation that's been properly tested holds up, every single time.
- More lines, less hassle. With the formulation sorted, expanding your range becomes simple, not stressful.
