Golden Brands 454 Coconut Soy Wax brings together the best of two popular plant-based waxes to create a superb single-pour choice for container candles and tealights.

Coconut wax is increasingly in demand due to its excellent glass adhesion, frost resistance, smooth tops, and strong hot throw. This blended coconut wax produces a creamy, off-white candle with a hot throw a bit stronger than soy wax alone.

While the ratio of coconut to soy is proprietary, we can share that soy is the dominant wax.

This wax comes in flake form for easy measuring and requires no additives. Just like other Golden Brands waxes, the wax is made with USA-grown soybeans and is manufactured in the USA.

Candle Maker's Notes: Wicking is the biggest challenge we've experienced with 454. We strongly suggest reviewing the Lab Notes for a detailed breakdown of where to start with wicking your container. Our Wick Guide will also help point you in the right direction!

Sinkholes, craters, and other similar concerns are often fixed by adjusting the pour temperature. We recommend starting with a pouring temperature of 170°F (76.7°C), but you may need to adjust based on your individual maker space. We recommend adjusting by +/-5°F (2.8°C) at a time to find the right pouring temperature for your space and candles.

Smooth tops
Leslie 2024-10-27

I am loving this wax so far. It has better cold and hot throw than 464 and I do love 6006, and 6046 but I do like this wax for a non paraffin option with good hot throw. I just wanted to share what has worked for me which is to pour at a lower temp and I don’t heat the jars beforehand or anything. I use them at room temp and I basically just pour into them as is and it works great. Some fine cracks may form on top at first, but you just have to find the right pouring temp and /or use a heat gun.. I like the CD wicks and woodwicks so far and I really just enjoy this wax. Thanks for offering it Candle Science.

good wax
Diane Lemon 2024-10-22

I love the smooth tops on the candles. I am concerned about the sink holes. While I want to love this wax I almost think I might go back to my 464. So far I like the scent throw better. I am still experimenting. That said I have purchased scents from other candle companies and Candlescience is by far the best around. Their service and delivery time is unbeatable.

A coconut-soy wax without paraffin!
Amber 2024-10-04

This wax has a great CT and HT. Yes, occasionally there are sink holes. I use a heat gun and hope for the best. I still prefer this to the majority of cocosoy blends out there that have paraffin in them.

Sink holes
Cassandra 2024-08-13

I've been using this wax for a while now, and I have a love-hate relationship with it. I am having the same issues with sinkholes. I am considering doing multiple pours even though it is time-consuming.
