What kind of wax do most candle makers use?

Next question...What kind of wax do most candle makers use. 100% or a blend. You can do a lot of different candles with blends. An example is pillar candles are blends of waxes. Most blended waxes hold color better. That's a whole new thought color you be surprised about the additives for color. Dyes(aniline) then there are UV light stabilizers.That's so the candle doesn't lose it's color. Yes, I am still talking about soy....Soy wax has great benefits you just have to choose wisely. Maybe I can help.

Why Soy?

Why soy is the question and I will give little education on the varies soy candles. I touch base on burning and color additives and blended waxes. Many candle makers all different products to make a beautiful candle. Here is some other chemical products Vybar ( polymer) binding agent to hold a larger amount of fragrance oil to soy or soy blend. Luster crystals another synthetic will help give candle a gloss or make color more vibrant in color. When you see a soy candle ask is this really 100% soy wax. Ask what else is in the candle wax. Most Candle makers will use a blend soy wax it is easier to make and they are more appealing to the eye. Nobody regulates the soy candle industry so anything goes. Keep that in mind.
