How to Choose a Wax
Container Candles
If you are making container candles, we would recommend starting with our Rapeseed & Coconut Container wax, or if you prefer a Soy wax, then try EU 464. These are the waxes that our fragrance oils have been extensively tested in for compatibility and will usually give you the best results.
Wax melts
For wax melt makers, we recommend using High Performance Melt (HPM) blend. This is a hybrid wax, containing a mixture of Soy and Paraffin waxes, which is a winning combination for shiny melts with deep colour. If you prefer a 100% plant based wax, GW494 or RCX Melt blend are highly recommended.
Pillar Candles
For pillar candles, we would recommend using HPM. We do not recommend using 100% plant wax when making pillar candles, as the waxes tend to be too brittle for this application. Pillar candles made using HPM, which has high plant based content, offer an excellent compromise.
