hemp coco soy candle wax

Candle wax with organic hemp is a high-performance, eco-friendly, and sustainable choice with luxury-added appeal.

• Creamy white appearance
• Exceptional adhesion
• Excellent fragrance throw (both warm and cold) 
• Evenness of burn and wax consumption
• Easily handles a 9-10% fragrance load
• Free of gluten, toxins, paraben, and phthalates
• Comes from renewable sources

Hemp coconut soy has a 120 F (49 C) melt point, with an optimal mix and pouring temperature of 140-150 F (60-66 C). Works best with the ultimate wood wick .03, whisper booster wood wick .03, or spiral wood wick .01.  

We add food grade paraffin because we’ve found it to enhance the performance of our wax and give an excellent hot throw. Scientific studies have proven paraffin wax to burn just as cleanly as soy, beeswax, or palm. And the highly refined, food-grade nature of our paraffin puts it in the natural category. You can learn more in this study performed by the National Candle Association.
