Soy wax is made from hydrogenated oil derived from soybeans, making it a natural wax that is less expensive than beeswax or bayberry waxes.
These blended waxes combine the ease of use of soy wax with the hardness and versatility of paraffin wax, and can be used in any type of candle.
Have some fun and experiment with different types of candle waxes to see which one is right for you.
Many candle makers offer workshops that focus on one area of candle making, for instance making taper candles or working with new-generation waxes such as soy wax.
