With plenty of benefits, such as longer burn time, less soot, and a subtle aroma, soy wax is one of the best natural waxes for making candles. Whether you want to make pillar candles or tea lights, the firm wax lets you easily make any candle.
Soy wax is a natural vegetable wax created from soybean oil. The different stages of creating soy wax include – the extraction of the soybeans, which are cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes.
Further, the process involves hydrogenating the flakes, which converts some of the unsaturated fatty acids into saturated form. The last stage changes the melting point of soy wax, making it solid at room temperature.
It is the most natural form of wax and an eco-friendly option. There are different soy wax forms; let’s look at them and learn more about their performance.
415 is the purest form of soy wax. It is 100% pure soy without any additives. Some of the critical factors of soy wax 415 are-
The second soy variety is the soy wax 444. This, too, is natural soy wax but has soy-based additives. Like soy 415, 444 also has a higher melting point and fragrance load capacity.
But the additive makes pouring the wax easier during candle-making. Pure soy wax is suggested to be poured at 110° Fahrenheit; otherwise, the wax begins to look cloudy, affecting the overall candle appearance.
But you can pour 444 soy wax at 135° Fahrenheit. It means your wax won’t start solidifying while you’re pouring it, and ultimately there will be no candle frosting.
Key factors about soy wax 444-
Soy wax 464 is also pure soy wax and contains soy-based additives. The primary purpose of soy wax 464 is to reduce frosting and increase fragrance load. It also has a similar pouring temperature of 444 for a smooth candle surface.
The main difference between 444 and 464 is that the former has a higher melting point, but the latter does not. The melting point of 464 is 115 to 120° Fahrenheit.
So which wax is better: 444 or 464?
Both are best in their own ways. 444 has a higher melting point, which is best for more fragrance load. The 464 gives better burn and better glass adhesion and prevents wet spots.
Key factors about soy wax 464-
After seeing the performance, burn quality, and fragrance load of all three types, soy wax 444 is the best for candle-making due to its high melting and pouring temperature.
It gives a perfect burn, higher fragrance load, and prevents rough surfaces while pouring the wax. But it does not mean that the other two types- 415 and 464 are unsuitable. You can work with them as well.

Soy wax is a natural vegetable wax. Some problems during the casting and production process cause the finished candles to fail when used. Our Beijing Dongke has accumulated production experience in this field and hopes to help everyone avoid these problems.
In 2022, the overall price change of domestic kunlun paraffin wax market showed a trend of “rising first and then fluctuating downward”.
The candle machine is a machine that makes a candle. By making the mold that needs to be required, the candle raw material is infused into the candle machine, and the candle can be formed after cooling.
About the waxing process of candle machine
1. Follow wax: Add some water to the pot, put the solid paraffin into the pot (can melt the paraffin into wax water), melt it into liquid wax water until the pot is added to the configuration pigment color.
Soy Wax is a vegan wax made from the complete oiling of soybeans. Like honey, it is considered a natural wax, and 100% pure soy wax is often used in containers of soy wax.
Paraffin wax is a hydrocarbon mixture extracted from some distillates of petroleum, shale oil or other bituminous mineral oils. The main component is solid alkanes, odorless and tasteless, and it is a white or light yellow translucent solid.
