Hearts & Crafts Soy Candle Wax Kit - 10 lb Wax Flakes with 100 Cotton Wicks and 2 Wick Holders - DIY Supplies for Crafting Candles, Tarts, and Scented Creations

Natural soy wax is an excellent choice for candle making. It is derived from soybean oil, making it a renewable and environmentally-friendly option.One of the top benefits of natural soy wax is its clean and long-lasting burn. Soy wax candles tend to have a slower burn rate compared to other types of wax, which means you can enjoy your candle for a longer period of time. Additionally, soy wax produces minimal soot and smoke, ensuring a clean and healthy atmosphere.Another advantage of soy wax is its ability to hold fragrance. Soy wax has a great scent throw, meaning it can disperse fragrance oils effectively and fill your space with a delightful aroma.Furthermore, soy wax is easy to work with. It has a lower melting point, which makes it easier to handle and pour. It also has a natural creamy appearance and can hold color dyes well, allowing for creative and visually appealing candle designs.Lastly, soy wax is biodegradable, making it an eco-friendly choice. It is made from a renewable resource, as opposed to petroleum-based waxes, which contributes to a more sustainable candle-making industry.Overall, natural soy wax is highly recommended for candle making due to its clean burn, strong fragrance throw, ease of use, and eco-friendly properties.

Good amount and quality. Good for starters

Melts easily and easy to use

Nice product, all as described. Thank You.

Wax is nice, but they do need to include better wicks. They are not the wicks that belong with that type of soy wax. They also need to include what type of wax it is in the comments.

This was the first wax I bought in attempting to make candles, and it was great. It was about 1.5 oz short for me, which could have been a measuring error on my part (I was making in pound and half pound increments). Using a double boiler I heated it to 185 and added the fragrance oil. I usually stick with 6-8% fragrance load depending on the strength of the oil. I let it cool to around 145-150 and poured. It needs to cure for a few days (or longer, depending on some sources I read).I do wish it had come with more directions or tips, and I still have some testing and experimenting to do to improve my product, but overall it's pretty simple if you just want to get started: melt, add fragrance, pour. There's a lotttttt of science if you are going past that! Different temps to add fragrance, letting it cool and pouring at different temps (with changes in elevation, ambient temp, etc all coming into play). Hot throw, cold throw, proper wicking (these wicks have about a 1.5-2" max melt pool - great for votives but anything bigger will need to be double wicked. That's probably why they sent 100, honestly, because that's about how many votives you can get out of it!). Lots to try and test, but I told my husband here's why I think candle-making is my new favorite hobby: You can always melt your mistakes!! Happy chandling, folks!!

This wax came in the very next day. It was what I was looking for if the price point was a little bit lower. I think I was actually switch my brand over to this wax.I love the way that holds the fragrance. I love how it melted or whipped, it absolutely perfect and amazing. I would definitely recommend.

Great wax. Very clean, long lasting burn. I’ve bought this kit three times and come back when I need more wax.
