Blended Waxes Paraffin/Soy Wax (BW-910) combines the excellent fragrance throw of paraffin with the visual appeal and usability of soy. A great choice for container candles and tealights, BW-910 shines as single-pour wax with consistent color and strong burn performance in larger containers. The higher melt point helps candles ship in the summer without melting in transit.

The exact ratio of paraffin to soy is proprietary, but can share that this blend is more than 50% paraffin. This allows for smooth, glossy tops, vibrant dye coloration, and excellent cold and hot throw in the finished candle at a variety of fragrance loads. 

Packaged in a soft slab form, this wax can easily be cut using a sharp knife or even a soap cutter like the Wavy Soap Cutter. No additives are necessary.

Candle Maker's Notes:
Every candle will produce smoke and soot while burning, and wax blends with paraffin tend to have darker soot. If you're seeing excess sooting, we recommend testing different wick sizes, or double wicking in larger containers (3.3"/8.4 cm diameter or larger). Additionally, reducing fragrance load can be beneficial - 6-8% will be plenty strong for most fragrances!

Troubleshooting Tips

  • For the strongest scent throw, we recommend letting finished candles cure for at least 3 days.
  • See our Lab Notes on how to get the most out of BW-910!
  • Use our Wick Guide to help get your testing started.
  • For help choosing the right candle wax for your candles, visit our Wax Guide.

Note: The weight of slabbed wax can vary slightly. Cases contain 4 slabs of wax packaged together in a reinforced cardboard box.

Something's wrong
E. Ai 2024-08-23

I bought this wax July 2024 and it looks different than usual. It used to be off white but now it's white and it doesn't seem to have the same HT like last time. I've been ordering this for years now and this is the first time this happened. I wasted a lot of money including shipping. It seems like a regular paraffin wax instead of mixed with soy. Oh well.

Love this wax for simple pillar candles but I have to make seashells for a birthday party and coloring them has been difficult and finding the right wick (even using the wick guide) has been draining! The dimensions of the seashell is a bit complex and that’s why I’ve tried several wicks, what are your suggestions for wicking and coloring

I am obsessed with this wax. It has a very strong HT and CT. Literally had my entire smelling so good. It holds color so well and is very easy to work with. I followed the directions and wicked using my CD wicks and I have had zero problems. My tops did sink in after cooling and It was easily fixable by pouring another layer on top or even using a heat gun. I will be purchasing more.

Blended Waxes® Paraffin/Soy Wax (BW-910)
Shaday 2023-11-13

On my last order of wax, the quality was totally off. The color was white instead of its usual off white, and it soots heavily. For my holiday line, I made a total of 12 candles, but I am unable to sell any of them.
This is the first time I have encountered this problem after using this wax for a year.
I’ve reached out to customer service but have yet to get a response

I personally love this wax

I’m new to candle making, and I make cute confectionery candles. This wax is easy to work with even for beginners, it’s very soft and easy to cut my CT/ HT is amazing also I highly recommend it. But like I seen in the reviews above the wicking is a personal preference depending on your jar
