LiveSoy™ (Pillar & Melt) Wax – For Pillar Candles & Wax Melts – Various Sizes

LiveSoy Pillar – Vegetable Based wax for Pillars & Melts.

LiveSoy Pillar is a vegetable blend wax, specifically developed for use in Pillars and Wax Melts. Currently supplied in pellet form.

In comparison to other pillar/melt waxes on the market, LiveSoy Pillar has no (‘fatty’) scent, allowing for scents to come through more effectively on both hot and cold throws, thus negating the need to ‘over-fragrance’ the wax.

This wax works really well for wax melts and pillar candles and performs best with high fragrance loads of around 12%. This wax can also be used as an additive to Paraffin to improve overall look and scent throw of container candles.

The fragrance load of this wax is around 5-10%.

This wax melts at 60°C and has a recommended pouring temperature of between 55-65°C. Sometimes rippling can occur if poured too cold, so we would recommend trying to stick to a pouring temperature of around 60°C, alternatively slowly heating with a heat gun can improve the surface appearance once set.

It is recommended to leave the wax to cure if using fragrance oils for a minimum of 1 week, with best results yielded from a 2 week cure time.

Store the wax in sealed container, away from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Advice:

In general, lower pouring temperatures seem to be better for this wax (around 55-60C). We recommend heating this wax to around 80C before adding fragrance / dye.

It’s sometimes necessary to heat the wax to higher temperatures initially to incorporate colours, fragrances or other waxes, but please refrain from over-heating this wax above 90°C as it can affect the overall performance if left at high temperatures for expended periods.

Please resist pouring the wax immediately and let it cool slightly (with gentle stirring if needed) as this will yield the best results with less risk of frosting and surface defects.
