What is soy wax and how is it made?
Soy wax is a natural plant-based product made from soybean oil. To obtain a dense creamy consistency, liquid oil undergoes a process of hydrogenation – a change at the molecular level with the help of hydrogen.
And although soybean oil is a completely natural product, it can not be eaten, but it is excellent for cosmetic purposes if it has been dermatologically tested and found to be safe for the skin.

Where to start choosing soy wax?
First of all, we recommend that you decide what kind of candle you want to get. Will you add coloring, aromatic oils, or maybe both. Whether you want to make a container or shaped candle. Or maybe a massage? Or not a candle at all, but an aromatic sachet.
Let’s start with the basics: why do containerized and molded candles require different waxes, and how exactly do they differ?
Container candle wax has a lower melting point, which means it starts to melt at a lower temperature than mold candle wax. The average melting point of container wax is 44-47°C. Such an indicator suggests that if it is possible to cast a molded candle, then you definitely shouldn’t set fire to it, unless, of course, you want to get an oil puddle on your table 🙂
But pillar waxes have a melting point at around 57-63 ° C, which allows them to keep their shape perfectly after solidification and not spread during combustion.
Below you will find a comparison of waxes presented in our assortment, and you will be able to understand which one is right for your tasks 🙂
