Ultra-Core Wicks 10 Pack | Sozo Essentials

Ultra-Core Wicks
Proudly made in the USA, Ultra-Core Wicks offer a 100% natural alternative to traditional zinc core wicks—delivering the same rigidity without any metal or paper. These all-fiber wicks provide a clean, efficient burn and are designed specifically for container candles.

Crafted with a uniquely treated fiber core, Ultra-Core Wicks maintain their shape during both the pouring and burning process. The patented open-knit construction allows wax to flow smoothly through the fibers, enhancing fuel delivery, promoting a more even melt pool, and boosting scent throw. Expect minimal tunneling, little to no soot, and a shorter, hotter flame with significantly smaller mushrooming.

Versatile Performance
Ultra-Core Wicks have been extensively tested across a wide range of waxes—including soy, paraffin, coconut, palm, beeswax, gel, and hybrid blends—and consistently deliver excellent results. This all-in-one wick offers reliable performance, eliminating the need for metal-core alternatives.

Wick Sizing Guide
Ultra-Core sizing is straightforward: the wick number (e.g., 1.45, 1.651, 1.792, 2.0) corresponds to the melt pool diameter (in inches) after 2 hours of burn time in 140°F paraffin wax. Use this as a starting point and adjust based on your specific wax, fragrance load, and any additives used.

Helpful Tips for Best Results

• Always test burn your candles before finalizing wick selection

• Trim wicks to ¼ inch or less before each burn

• Size down for palm wax and low melt point paraffins

• Size up when working with beeswax

Ultra-Core Wicks give candle makers the freedom to create with confidence—metal-free, worry-free, and performance-driven.
