How to measure soy wax for candle making?
Always measure by weight, not volume. Typically, a pound of soy candle wax for candle making typically equals about 20 oz of liquid once melted. A digital scale ensures accuracy.
Can soy wax be blended with other waxes?
Yes. Soy can be blended with coconut or paraffin to adjust hardness, appearance, or fragrance performance. If blending with fragrance oils, check IFRA guidelines to ensure safe usage rates.
Does soy wax work for both beginners and professionals?
Absolutely. Flakes make it simple for new makers to get started, while the consistency and availability of wholesale soy wax make it a top choice for professional candle businesses.
What’s the difference between soy wax and paraffin?
Soy wax is plant-based and renewable. It typically burns longer and is favored for its natural appeal, while paraffin offers stronger color vibrancy. Many makers choose soy for its balance of clean burn and reliable scent throw.
