Building Blocks of a Container Fill Candle – #1

Believe it or not, the wax you use is the most important building block of a container candle. You will find that Soy Wax is much more forgiving and easy to use. CandleWealth’s NVSoy™ wax has made making candles at home easier. Paraffin wax is more difficult. All soy waxes, though, are not the same. 100% soy wax is not ideal for candle making because is can crack when it cools, and syneresis occurs more in 100% soy wax. Syneresis is when the fragrance sweats at the top of the candle. Soy blends work better (soy and other natural vegetable mixed), but some companies blend soy wax and paraffin. If clean burning is important to you, look for all natural soy wax blends. NVSoy™ wax is a natural vegetable soy that is easy to use and allows the fragrance to throw better all the way to the bottom of your candle.
