Our Go-To Wax!

"We run through this wax like it's out of style. It is non-fussy and easy to use, given you are following the directions. The scent throw is perfect every time, and our customers love the consistency that this wax provides for some of our pillar candles. Get it, you will not be disappointed."

Beautiful scent, too low usage %

"I love this sent. I didn't learn until after ordering that the IFRA recommends a 2. 5% usage rate, which is far too low to make its beautiful impact after the saponification process."

This is THE BEST PILLAR W. . .

"This is THE BEST PILLAR WAX I have ever used for our businesses. I have tried many others but they cannot compare to the Quality especially when it comes to ease of use & Scent Throw. Since KCW sold to RE it is a lot further to ship, but that doesn't matter at all. . . It is worth it! The KY143 Pillar Wax is almost as GREAT as KY FRAGRANCE OILS. . . They Blow All The Others Away! Advantages: GREAT SCENT THROWGREAT EASE OF USEI CAN'T DO BUSINESS WITHOUT IT:) Disadvantages: ABSOLUTELY NONE!!"

Q&A

This may be a silly question. But is this the best wax for free standing candles from, for instance, a skull mold?: Yes, this wax is appropriate for free-standing candles. You will want to test this, of course, with your specific mold.
Hello, what wicks do you recommend to use with this wax? I am not adding any color just fragrance to my candle and wanted to know the best wicks for this type of wax.: This depends on a number of things, including container type & size, and formulation.
Hi there! I am wondering if I can use the Ky 143 paraffin pillar wax for wax melts and container candles? If so, do I need to add another kind of wax to make a blend, and if so, what other wax do you recommend? Thank you so much for all the help, I appreciate you!: KY 143 is best suited for pillars and votives. A better paraffin for melts and containers would be our KY 133.
