Candle Wax

Our product lineup includes the Golden Brands 464 Soy Wax, renowned for its excellent performance in container candles. Soy wax has a natural composition, which is sustainable from a clean burn and strong fragrance retention. It is an ideal choice for environmentally conscious candle makers sourcing bulk wax for candles.

Blend the benefits of different wax types with the ProBlend 600 Para-Soy Container Wax. This hybrid candle wax combines clean-burning qualities of soy with the strong scent throw and vibrant color retention of paraffin. It offers candle makers a versatile base for their creations.

If your projects include making votives or tarts, consider the Ky Para-Soy Tart & Votive Blend Wax. It offers excellent scent throw and comes in a user-friendly form that simplifies the measuring and melting process.

1. Paraffin Wax: A popular and versatile choice, paraffin is known for its excellent scent throw and smooth finish. It’s cost-effective and great for beginners or high-volume production.
2. Soy Wax: A natural alternative made from soybean oil. Soy burns cleaner and longer, with a reputation for eco-friendliness. It's perfect for those aiming for a more sustainable candle line.
3. Beeswax: Naturally sourced and long-burning, beeswax has a subtle honey aroma and purifies the air as it burns. Ideal for artisanal or luxury candle collections.
4. Coconut Wax: Made from coconut oil, this wax offers a clean burn and creamy texture. It’s often blended with soy or other waxes for improved performance and scent throw.
5. Palm Wax: Known for its crystalline finish, palm wax provides a unique texture and excellent scent retention. Use responsibly sourced palm to align with eco-conscious values.
6. Blended Waxes: Many commercial candles use proprietary blends (e.g., soy-paraffin or coconut-soy) to combine the benefits of different wax types for optimal performance.

In addition to traditional waxes, we offer specialty products like the Ky 133 Versatile Paraffin Wax Blend. It is suitable for a variety of creative endeavors including tarts, votives, and decorative wax crafts. Known for its creamy texture and excellent additive compatibility, it enhances the aesthetic and scent qualities of your candles.

Check out wholesale wax additives such as Vybar 260, which improves the opacity and scent throw of candles. This additive is especially useful for achieving a smoother surface on finished candles. 

For those looking to preserve the color vibrancy of their candles, our Ultra Violet Light Inhibitor is essential. It protects against color fading caused by light exposure over time.

1. What kind of wax is best for candles?

The choice of wax largely depends on the type of candle you wish to create and your specific performance requirements. Soy wax, like our Golden Brands 464, is excellent for container candles due to its natural and sustainable attributes. It provides a clean burn and good fragrance holding capacity. Paraffin wax is preferred for more vibrant and aromatic candles.

1. What wax to avoid in candles?

Wax choice depends on the specific needs of the project. While our range includes only high-quality waxes, some artisans avoid gel waxes or overly soft waxes. Specific applications require a firmer set and higher melt points.

1. What wax holds the most fragrance?

Paraffin wax makes strongly scented candles due to the characteristics of the wax. However, para-soy blends like our ProBlend 600 also offer excellent fragrance retention. It combines the best qualities of both soy and paraffin waxes for superior scent throw and candle performance.
