I started making candles in 2018 and tried an expensive natural wax. That wax was the most expensive wax and it was not sustainable to use in candles - didn't know that fact until I started making candles. I did some research and found that natural soy wax was just as good and it’s sustainable. I have had great success with the soy wax and love learning more and more about candle making and materials used. This year I am adding a vegetable wax with my soy wax because from research, the vegetable wax helps to slow the burning process which means you will get a longer lasting candle. These waxes are made from sustainable, renewable crop and works well with fragrance oils.
