Oil Locking Agent

Our Oil Locking Agent is a mineral-based wax additive specially designed to solve common issues in scented candle production, particularly surface oil seepage, sweating, fragrance migration, and poor wax contraction after adding fragrance oils. It is suitable for manufacturers seeking a more stable, visually clean, and high-quality candle finish.

By adding 3%–5% of this additive, the surface oil layer can be significantly reduced, improving both appearance and structural stability of the finished candle.
