Why Coconut Wax is a Game-Changer for Candle Making in the UAE
If you're making candles in the UAE—or just thinking about starting—you’ve probably come across coconut wax. And honestly? It’s as good as people say. Whether you're doing it as a hobby or planning to start a small business, using coconut wax can seriously improve your candle game.
Here’s why it’s becoming so popular, especially with the UAE’s climate, and how you can start using it.
What is Coconut Wax?

Coconut wax is a natural wax made from the meat of coconuts. It’s often mixed with other plant waxes (like soy) to help it perform better—especially for candles in jars.
At Resin Art Hub, we’ve got EcoCoco Container Blend — a premium-quality coconut wax that’s perfect for UAE-based makers looking for smooth tops, strong scent throw, and clean-burning results.
Why Coconut Wax Works So Well in the UAE

Candle makers here deal with hot weather, humidity, and a love for luxury candles. Coconut wax helps solve all that:
✅ Smooth & Creamy Finish
Coconut wax creates beautifully creamy, smooth candles with minimal frosting — ideal for giving your products a high-end look.
✅ Smells Amazing
It holds fragrance oils extremely well, so your candles smell amazing even before they’re lit — and continue to fill the room while burning.
✅ Burns Clean
Compared to paraffin and even some soy blends, coconut wax burns longer and cleaner, with less soot.
✅ Works Great in Containers
The EcoCoco Container Blend is made specifically for jar candles. It adheres well to glass and has a lower melting point, which helps your candle burn evenly.
Is Coconut Wax Eco-Friendly?
It’s made from natural ingredients, breaks down easily, and doesn’t harm trees when harvested. So if you’re trying to make candles that are good for the planet or run a more sustainable business, it’s a great option.

How to Use Coconut Wax for Best Results

Here are a few tips if you’re using coconut wax (especially EcoCoco) for the first time:
- Melt slowly – Use a double boiler and avoid overheating. Keep it around 75–80°C.
- Mix fragrance at the right temp – Add your scent when the wax cools to ~70°C.
- Cure your candles – Let them rest for 5–7 days for the best scent throw.
- Test your wick – Coconut wax burns differently, so make sure to wick test for clean burns.
