100% Natural Coconut Soy Wax - 467 (Paraffin-Free)

ABOUT 100% NATURAL COCONUT SOY WAX - 467 VS PARAFFIN BLEND:  HOW THEY DIFFER AND THE BENEFITS  I WANTED TO SHARE A FEW THOUGHTS REGARDING THE 100% NATURAL WAX OPTION. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT 100% NATURAL WAXES WITHOUT PARAFFIN PERFORM DIFFERENTLY. THIS IS TRULY A NEW TECHNOLOGY, AND IT ELIMINATES MANY HISTORICAL ISSUES LIKE THE CAULIFLOWER EFFECT, FROSTING, AND CONSTANT TUNNELING. IT ALSO USES SLIGHTLY SMALLER WICKS COMPARED TO PREVIOUS VERSIONS. THE FRAGRANCE RETENTION IS UNPRECEDENTED. IN THE PAST, THESE TYPES OF WAXES MAXED OUT AT AN 8% FRAGRANCE LOAD, BUT WE HAVE FOUND STABILITY AT 12% WITH THIS BLEND. IN TERMS OF APPEARANCE, WHILE A PARAFFIN BLEND OFFERS A CREAMIER TEXTURE, THIS WAX WILL HAVE A SLIGHTLY MORE NATURAL TEXTURE, WHICH IS TO BE EXPECTED. THE REAL BENEFIT IS HOW CLEANLY IT BURNS. BECAUSE IT BURNS SO CLEANLY WITHOUT NEEDING A REDUCED WICK SIZE, WE CAN USE A TRUE, LARGE WICK. THIS RELEASES A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FRAGRANCE INTO THE AIR. I WILL LEAVE IT TO YOU TO EVALUATE, BUT I BELIEVE THE HOT THROW WILL BE AMAZING, AND I HAVE ALSO FOUND THE COLD THROW TO BE SUPERIOR TO PARAFFIN BLENDS. WHILE PARAFFIN OFFERS CERTAIN BENEFITS, THIS 100% NATURAL, PARAFFIN-FREE WAX PROVIDES A UNIQUE STRATEGIC MARKETING ADVANTAGE THAT NO OTHER BRAND HAS. IT REALLY IS A BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY, AND I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. MOST IMPORTANTLY: THIS WAX REQUIRES A LARGER WICK THAN MOST WAXES. FOR A 3-INCH DIAMETER CONTAINER, WE RECOMMEND USING A CD 18 OR CD 20 WICK. FOR THE SMOOTHEST, MOST PROFESSIONAL FINISH, YOU MAY NEED TO USE A HEAT GUN AFTER POURING TO ELIMINATE SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS AND ACHIEVE A BEAUTIFUL, EVEN TOP. ENJOY THE LUXURY OF ONE OF THE CLEANEST-BURNING, PARAFFIN-FREE WAXES AVAILABLE. HAPPY CANDLE MAKING! DUE TO THE LACK OF PARAFFIN, THIS IS A MORE CHALLENGING WAX TO WORK WITH. FOR AN EASIER, BEGINNER-READY WAX, WE RECOMMEND USING A PARAFFIN-BLENDED WAX. PROS AND CONS PROS 100% NATURAL WAX BURNS CLEANER THAN PARAFFIN-BASED WAXES WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS SOOT SUPPORTS A CLEANER, MORE NATURAL CANDLE FORMULATION HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE FOR BOTH MAKERS AND END USERS CONSIDERATIONS (CONS) 100% NATURAL COCONUT SOY WAX (PARAFFIN-FREE). AS WITH MOST NATURAL WAXES, IT IS MORE TECHNICAL TO WORK WITH AND HAS CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BEFORE PURCHASING: REQUIRES LARGER WICK SIZES THAN PARAFFIN-BLENDED WAXES. MANY CANDLE MAKERS WILL NEED TO SWITCH FROM A SINGLE WICK TO A DOUBLE WICK FOR VESSELS LARGER THAN 3" IN DIAMETER. SOME TEXTURE AND FROSTING MAY OCCUR. HOWEVER, COMPARED TO MANY OTHER 100% NATURAL WAXES ON THE MARKET, OUR FORMULATION HAS BEEN OPTIMIZED TO MINIMIZE THESE EFFECTS. WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT DURING BURNING, PARTICULARLY WITH WOOD WICKS, THE WAX MAY DEVELOP A REDDISH-BROWN APPEARANCE. IF LEFT IN A MELTING TANK FOR EXTENDED PERIODS, THE WAX MAY ALSO DEVELOP A REDDISH-BROWN COLOR. GLASS ADHESION CAN BE MORE CHALLENGING TO ACHIEVE CONSISTENTLY DUE TO THE NATURAL PROPERTIES OF THE WAX. HOLDS A LOWER FRAGRANCE LOAD COMPARED TO SOME BLENDED WAXES. WE RECOMMEND A MAXIMUM FRAGRANCE LOAD OF 12.5%. DURING HOT SUMMER TEMPERATURES, THE WAX IS MORE SENSITIVE AND MAY EXPERIENCE SYNERESIS (FRAGRANCE OIL SEPARATION FROM THE WAX). OUR RECOMMENDATION IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE CLEANEST, MOST NATURAL CANDLE POSSIBLE, NATURAL COCO WAX IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE. WHILE IT REQUIRES A BIT MORE EXPERIENCE AND ATTENTION DURING PRODUCTION, MANY MAKERS FIND THE BENEFITS WELL WORTH IT. BY CHOOSING A 100% NATURAL WAX, YOU'RE INVESTING IN A CLEANER-BURNING, HEALTHIER PRODUCT FOR YOURSELF, YOUR CUSTOMERS, AND THE ENVIRONMENT. INSTRUCTIONS HEAT WAX TO 185°F (85°C) *ONLY HEAT RIGHT BEFORE POURING TO AVOID OVERCOOKING THE WAX; OTHERWISE, STORE AT LOW TEMPERATURES MAX FRAGRANCE LEVEL 12.5% ADD THE FRAGRANCE OR ESSENTIAL OIL, REMOVE FROM THE HEAT, AND STIR FOR 2 MINUTES.

BECAUSE FRAGRANCE LOAD, CONTAINER SIZE, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS CAN ALL AFFECT BURN PERFORMANCE, WE RECOMMEND CONDUCTING THOROUGH WICK TESTING TO DETERMINE THE BEST MATCH FOR YOUR SPECIFIC APPLICATION.
