Are there really any differences in waxes? After all, aren all candle waxes just straight paraffin wax?
A. Yes, all candle waxes (except gel) begin from straight paraffin. However, that is where the similarities stop. The quality of a good candle wax depends on how it was manufactured. There are a lot of waxes on the U.S. market that come from several foreign countries, and are not manufactured with quality or consistent procedures. Some of these waxes will have a high water content, some will have a high oil content, and most will not be consistent in either. That’s where the problem comes in, because once you think you have your additives down, the next batch of candles you make won’t turn out right, beacuse of inconsistency during the manufacturing. You will have to constantly be reformulating your wax formulas. Our waxes are blended with exact quality procedures, to offer you a professional, quality and consistent wax.
