SOY WAX

What exactly is soy wax? Soy wax is a type of vegetable wax derived from soybean oil. The production process begins with the harvesting of soybeans, which are then cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is subsequently extracted from these flakes and undergoes hydrogenation. Hydrogenation is a process that transforms some of the oil's fatty acids from unsaturated to saturated, significantly changing the oil's melting point and making it solid at room temperature. The remaining bean husks from this process are often repurposed as animal feed. The majority of soybeans are grown in the Midwest, particularly Illinois, Iowa, and Indiana. All of our soy waxes are made in the United States and thoroughly tested. Our soy waxes include soy-derived additives to reduce frosting, enhance jar adhesion, and hot and cold fragrance throw.

Coconut Wax

Coconut candle wax is a natural, eco-friendly wax derived from the meat of coconuts. It is increasingly popular among candle makers and environmentally conscious consumers due to its sustainable sourcing and clean-burning properties. When burned, coconut wax produces minimal soot and smoke, reducing the risk of respiratory issues and ensuring a cleaner atmosphere in your home. One of the standout benefits of coconut candle wax is its exceptional scent throw, which allows fragrances to disperse evenly and effectively throughout a room. This wax has a creamy texture that blends beautifully with other natural waxes, such as soy and beeswax, enabling candle makers to create unique formulations tailored to specific scents or aesthetics. Additionally, coconut wax has a lower melting point, which means candles made from it often burn longer and more evenly, maximizing their lifespan. Its ability to hold color and fragrance also enhances the visual appeal and olfactory experience of the candles.

Beeswax

Beeswax is a natural, renewable substance produced by honeybees, specifically secreted from glands on their abdomens. The bees use it to construct honeycomb cells for storing honey and raising their young. This wax has a distinctive yellow or golden hue, along with a subtle, sweet aroma. Rich in beneficial properties, beeswax is known for its versatility and is commonly used in candles, cosmetics, and food wraps. It boasts excellent moisture-retaining qualities, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products. Additionally, beeswax has natural antibacterial properties, contributing to its effectiveness in preserving food and promoting overall health and wellness.

Wax Blends

Blended waxes can be an excellent choice for candle making due to their unique characteristics. They combine the best features of different waxes, providing more consistency, better fragrance throw, and smoother surface finish than pure waxes might offer. Blended waxes also have a lower shrinkage rate, reducing the need for second pours. This makes the candle making process more efficient. Furthermore, they offer greater flexibility as they can be tailored to specific needs, like creating a harder candle for warmer climates or a softer one for colder areas. With blended waxes, you can truly customize your candle making experience.
