Paraffin Pillar Wax (MP-137) is a fully refined paraffin wax perfect for creating glossy pillars, votives, tarts, and wax melts with excellent scent throw. Typically reserved for major manufacturing companies as a private label wax, MP-137 is an opportunity for the handcrafted market to try a premium wax. The white wax is opaque and provides a fantastic canvas for vibrant colors. It requires no additional additives, just add fragrance and dye.

As a bonus, MP-137 is packaged in pastille form for easy scooping and measuring - no hard slabs to break up!

Candle Maker's Notes:
Experiencing sinkholes? As is common for paraffin pillar waxes, MP-137 will require a second pour for most projects due to shrinkage as it cools.

If You Don't Suceed

Lisa 2025-02-10

I purchased this wax a while ago and made a large candle. The color was vibrant and it released from the hold perfectly. I just did everything wrong as far as pouring temp,not doing a second pour and wicking...... basically an epic fail. - Lesson learned READ THE LAB NOTES! So I let is sit a while and returned to try again. This time I made some votives and WOW! For now I did not add color and used a zinc wick but this is a SUPER CLEAN burning paraffin. I am buying more. I am looking forward to trying those fragrances that are tougher to get results with. This wax is a keeper.

MP 137 wax throws better than a baseball.

Tropicandle, llc 2025-01-18

I was gifted several lbs of this wax MP 137 by a soaper who no longer did candles and had this as a left over. She just up and mailed it to me at her own expense without me even asking her to! <3 I am heartened that such voluntary kindness is still left in this crazy world!

I have had the chance now to work with this wax in wax melts, pillars (and even containers by adding 10% of MP 137's sister wax, MP 117 which is amazing as well.) And MP 137 knocks the aroma out of the park as it throws both cold and hot like an ALL STATE CHAMPION pitcher for even my most expensive delicate fragrance oils that I could hardly get to throw. Pardon all the sports puns but This wax is a World Class Winner. Truly a bonafide professional grade luxury wax out of all the hobby waxes one can buy.

My 'only' hesitation about putting my entire production on this amazing wax is C.S. is the only suppliers of the MP series and they could discontinue this wax and it's sister MP 117 any moment.
If they guaranteed that they were keeping it around even for a while then I would use MP 137 and MP 117 for all candle types and wax melts.

WILL C.S. assure me that the MP's are gonna stay in their future wax rotation Esp. after all their new proprietary wax offerings?
We shall see...I will keep you apprised so 'Tune in' for future review updates.

Super easy to work with; having issues with hot throw though…

Josie 2024-02-14

I have enjoyed working with this wax immensely. It’s easy to measure and melt! The only thing is, (it’s probably my fault) I am getting a pretty weak hot throw with this wax. I have even increased my fragrance load to 10% and added vybar to help but it’s still not very strong.

I have read that wider candles tend to have a better hot throw and the mold I use is only about 2in wide. Could that be the issue? Or would you guys have any other suggestions?

Game Changer!!!
