Cinnamon Red Candle Dye Chips

Create warm, richly colored candles with Cinnamon Red Candle Dye Chips. This concentrated candle color creates a deep, earthy red shade in paraffin wax and a softer, more muted cinnamon red in soy wax.

Each package contains 20 easy-to-use, diamond-shaped dye chips—enough to color approximately 10 to 11 lbs. of candle wax. The solid chips are convenient to measure, store, and add to melted wax without the spills or accidental overpouring associated with liquid candle dyes.

Use Cinnamon Red Candle Dye Chips to add vibrant color to container candles, pillar candles, votives, wax melts, novelty candles, and other candle-making projects. Cinnamon red is a warm choice for fall collections, holiday candles, rustic designs, spice-inspired themes, and year-round décor.

Cinnamon Red Color in Soy Wax vs. Paraffin Wax

The finished color will vary depending on the candle wax you use.

In paraffin wax, Cinnamon Red Candle Dye Chips generally create a richer, clearer, and more saturated earthy red. In soy wax, the naturally creamy and opaque appearance of the wax typically softens the color into a lighter, more muted cinnamon red.

The final color may also be affected by the amount of dye used, the fragrance oil, the natural color of the wax, and other ingredients in your candle formula. We recommend making a small test batch before producing larger quantities.

How to Use Cinnamon Red Candle Dye Chips

1. Melt your candle wax according to the wax manufacturer’s recommended instructions.
2. Add your fragrance oil before making the final color adjustment, since some fragrance oils may change the appearance of the wax.
3. Add the desired amount of Cinnamon Red Candle Dye Chips to the melted wax.
4. Stir thoroughly until the chips have completely melted and the color is evenly dispersed.
5. Place a few drops of the colored wax onto a piece of white paper.
6. Allow the sample to cool completely to see a more accurate representation of the finished color.
7. Add more dye gradually if you want a deeper cinnamon-red shade.
8. Record how much dye you used so you can recreate the same color in future batches.

Candle dye usually appears darker in hot, melted wax and becomes lighter after cooling. Always evaluate the color after the wax sample has completely cooled.

Create Different Shades of Cinnamon Red

The amount of candle dye used determines the intensity of the finished color. Use a smaller amount to create a soft, muted red. Gradually add more dye to achieve a richer cinnamon, brick red, or deeper earthy-red shade.

For the most consistent results, weigh or carefully record the amount of dye added to each batch. Always test the finished candle because wax type, fragrance oil, wick selection, and dye concentration can affect its appearance and burning performance.

Important Testing Information

Results may vary between wax formulas. Fragrance oils and other additives can alter the final shade, so testing is recommended before making a full production batch.

Adding too much dye may affect wick performance. Always conduct a complete test burn using your chosen wax, fragrance oil, dye concentration, container, and wick before selling or using finished candles.
