What type of wax is best for candles and melts?Updated 2 years ago

This is a great question- however the answer is it’s mostly a personal preference!

There are lots of different types of waxes: soy, parasoy, paraffin, beeswax, coconut, coconut apricot, and lots more! Some questions to ask yourself when making this decision are: Are you going for more of a natural feel for your products? Or just trying to achieve a strong throw? Personally, we own our own candle company and have chosen to go the soy wax route. It can be very challenging to work with, especially as a newbie, but once you become familiar with it and do all your testing it can be a great wax!

MWFC sells a variety of waxes. Ceda Serica and C55 are coconut apricot blends that are quite popular.  Maker’s Blend 100 and 150 are parasoy blends, mixing soy and paraffin waxes for the best of both worlds. We also sell Golden Wax 444, 464, and 494 as well, which are 100% soy waxes.

Our fragrance oils work with all of the options, but you will want to perform your own testing to make sure it is safe and has the desired throw for your preference!
