[Candle] About Types of Wax

The wax used as a material for candles is broadly divided into "petroleum-based," "plant-based," and "animal-based."

Depending on which one you choose, the visual texture, how it burns, and how the fragrance spreads will change dramatically🕯️

Plant-based wax (natural material)
The appeal lies in its natural texture and its gentleness to the environment and the body.
🫘Soy Wax (Soy Wax)
A wax made from soybean oil. It is characterized by a moist, matte texture, and it is said that lighting it clears the air in the room. Because its melting point is low, it is mainly suitable for "container candles" poured into vessels such as glasses.
🌴Palm Wax (Palm Wax)
Made from oil palm rapeseed and similar sources. It is characterized by the appearance of sparkling crystal patterns or beautiful feather-like patterns on the surface as it cools and hardens. Because it has hardness, it is also used for types that are removed from molds (pillar candles).

Animal-based wax (natural material)
🐝Beeswax / Beeswax)
A wax refined from honeybee hives. It has a faint, natural honey-like scent and is characterized by a mild texture. Its advantages are its stickiness and long burn time. There are refined white versions and unrefined yellow versions.

Petroleum-based and other waxes
🪨Paraffin Wax (Paraffin Wax)
The most common and easy-to-handle wax, refined from petroleum. It has a translucent whiteness, and colorants show up beautifully. It releases well from molds, allowing for the creation of candles in various shapes.
🍮Gel Wax (Gel Wax)
A wax characterized by its jelly-like transparency and squishy texture. It is perfect for enjoying designs that can be seen through the glass by placing seashells, dried flowers, or colored sand inside a glass container.
