Kaczor Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Does anyone use UV Inhibitors? I'd like to use UV Inhibitors to my candles. Do you know any company which sell this kind of products in Europe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I use UV inhibitor in candle jars with fragrances that have a vanilla in them. Like sugar cookie, creme brulee, most of the bakery scents. None of the UV inhibitors I've used work 100%. I still get some yellowing in vanilla jars when they are exposed to light. I have no idea who sells it outside the US.

ChrisR Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) I use UV inhibitor in all my candles, scented, unscented and dyed or not dyed. Blueberry FO's and any blue or purple dyes fade the worst, so I use a little more in those specific candles. I've used the UV from www.candlemakingsupplies.com (formerly Genwax) for over 15 years now and have had only a couple in all that time still fade on me. I've tried many other company's UV with not very good luck, so I quit trying others and stay with the best IMHO. Oops I forgot to say I don't know any overseas companies so you may need to research companies over here that ship to where you are.

Scented Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Man how can the UK businesses/suppliers not carry UV? In the limited searches I did (4 pages worth) I couldn't find a supplier who carried it. If you want it, I think you'll have to find a US or Canadian company ... (and there might other countries) to ship you some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaczor Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thanks! You were very helpful for me. I've already found supplier who has Inhibitor UV. If I do candles with it, I'll give you know about the effects. I had problems with white coffee candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Who'd you find if I may ask? We can put a link in our files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaczor Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 This is a big chemical company. They don't sell raw materials for candles. I called to them to ask.... They told me, that especial for me will bring 10kg. So, I even don't know from where that inhibitor UV will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
