About Ultra Core Wicks

Ultra Core Wicks are 100% natural, all-fiber candle wicks made in the USA that deliver the rigidity of zinc core wicks — without any metal wire. Featuring a patented open-knit construction, these wicks produce a shorter, hotter flame for improved melt pools, stronger hot throw, and minimal soot or mushrooming. Tested and proven in soy, paraffin, coconut, palm, beeswax, candle gel, and hybrid blends, Ultra Core is the one wick that works in any wax.

100% natural fiber construction — no metal wire or paper core
Patented open-knit design for improved wax flow and melt pool
Works in all wax types: soy, paraffin, coconut, palm, beeswax, gel, and blends
Shorter, hotter flame with minimal soot and mushrooming
Stays straight during fill and burn for consistent performance
Made in the USA with unmatched spool-to-spool consistency

Select your wick size based on melt pool diameter — the wick number (e.g., 1.60, 2.40, 2.59) represents the melt pool diameter in inches after 2 hours of burning in 140°F paraffin wax. Use this as a starting point and adjust for your specific wax, fragrance, color, and additives. Trim wicks to ¼ inch or less before lighting. Size down for palm wax and low melt point paraffins; size up for beeswax. Always test burn your candles.

frequently asked questions.

What wax types work with Ultra Core Wicks?

Ultra Core Wicks have been tested and perform excellently in soy, paraffin, coconut, palm, beeswax, candle gel, and many hybrid wax blends.

How do I choose the right Ultra Core Wick size?

The wick number (e.g., UC 2.40) represents the melt pool diameter in inches after 2 hours of burning in 140°F paraffin. Use this as a starting point and adjust based on your wax, fragrance, and jar size.

Are Ultra Core Wicks a good replacement for zinc core wicks?

Yes — Ultra Core Wicks provide the same rigidity as zinc core wicks but use 100% natural fiber with no metal wire, resulting in a cleaner burn with no unsightly metal residue.
