Soy Wax
Soy wax is the latest craze in the candle making industry. It has taken the candle making industry by storm. Sales of soy wax are expected to more than triple this year alone. Soy wax enthusiasts point to several factors that make soy the fastest growing wax on the market today. Soy wax is completely natural, it is clean burning and non-toxic, it is made from renewable resources, it produces significantly less soot, it is safe around children and pets, it burns longer than paraffin wax and it helps the American farmer. It is very easy to work with because it comes in flake form rather than the slabbed wax of it's paraffin counterpart. Although soy wax doesn't quite give the scent throw of paraffin wax, many people consider the pluses of a natural and cleaner burning wax to be a satisfactory alternative. Our 100% soy waxes are so pure you could melt them down and sautee vegetables for dinner!
It took us nearly 2 years of researching virtually every soy wax on the market before we found the product that met our rigid standards of excellence. We are proud to be a distributor of NatureWax™ 100% pure soy waxes. Until recently the downfall of soy wax has been that it simply made ugly candles. If you, like many candle makers have tried soy wax in the past and decided against it because the candles would discolor, flake and crumble apart, you're in for a real treat if you decide to try our NatureWax™ soy wax. There have been vast improvements made to the texture and capabilities of this versatile wax. We offer this wax in all three major applications, container wax, votive wax and pillar wax, all 100% soy waxes.
Soy wax was invented over a decade ago by Michael Richards and he alone is the documented inventor of this great product. As soy wax becomes more popular Mr. Richards product has been copied over and over, there are numerous companies that manufacture soy wax to various degrees of on the market now, most of which are poor copies of the real thing. I was delighted to find out that NatureWax™ products are manufactured with the exact formulas Mr. Richards himself created and perfected. When I first spoke with Mr. Richards I told him how excited I was about offering his 100% pure NatureWax™, I told him that out of all the many, many, soy waxes we tested his is far and away superior to anyone elses, and then I asked him why no one else can come close. His reply to me was to think about it, he continued that most soy wax companies have just begun making soy wax over the past couple of years, they're no where close to his level of knowledge and research producing soy wax. In his own words, he told me, "Mike, I began making soy wax in the 1990's I have an 11 year jump on everyone else in this field, I definitley should and do have a superior product to anyone else!" We are proud to offer these following 100% soy wax products.
NatureWax™ C-1 Container Wax - melt point 132 - You will have excellent results with this container soy wax. It has much better glass adhesion than any of the paraffin waxes available. As with all of our soy waxes it is 100% soy wax, it is clean burning with a longer burn time per candle for added customer satisfaction.
Phytowax V-1 Votive Wax - melt point 137 - Phytowax™ votive wax (made by NatureWax™) has such of a superiority compared to any other votive soy wax. Phytowax V-1 ™ has effectively created a formula specifically for both votive and pillar candle applications. This wax gives you a smooth, silky smooth candle finish. It does not crack, flake, break or discolor like many other soy waxes on the market.
All of the NatureWax™ waxes come in flake form which is much easier to work with than breaking up and/or cutting the slabs of wax, which is necessary when working with paraffin wax. When melting your NatureWax™ bring the temperature of the wax to between 160-190 degrees. Don't ever let the wax get above 200 degrees because it will discolor (yellow) under heat duress. Be sure to stir frequently in order to keep all of your wax the same temperature. You can add your color and fragrance oil seperately, anytime your wax temperature is between 160-190 degrees. Be sure you stir both your color and your fragrance oil for at least 2 minutes in the melted wax so it has a chance to bind properly with the wax. If you pour your candles when your wax is real hot you will have a chance of discoloration and/or cracking. We recommend pouring at a temperature of between 130-165 degrees. Be sure you keep your wax stirred throughout the process. Let your candle cure a full day (24 hours) for best results before burning.
