NatureWax C-3 Soy Wax Flakes

NatureWax C-3 soy wax from Cargill is an all-natural soy wax blend that is well known for excellent jar adhesion (minimal wet spots), minimal frosting, and excellent scent throw. We have found that NatureWax C-3 produces the best aesthetic candles among the various soy waxes we have tested/carry and is very easy to work with.

Melt Point: 125 - 130°F

Suggested Pouring Temperature: 130°

Advantages of using C-3 soy wax:

• Typically requires only a single pour (tops can be smoothed out with a heat gun if necessary)
• Formulated to minimize frosting when used correctly
• Strong hot and cold scent throw
• Typical fragrance load is 6% or less (fragrance loads up to 7-10% are possible with the addition of additives)
  
• Smooth and creamy appearance
• Excellent jar adhesion
• Comes in flake form
• No additives required

Basic Guidelines:

• Melt point: 125 – 130°F
• Heat wax to temperature 185° (caution: heating wax above 200° may cause wax discoloration)
• Add dye as needed and mix thoroughly
• At 160-165° add candle fragrance oil as needed and mix thoroughly (fragrance oil should be added just before pouring to prevent fragrance oil from evaporating)
• Pouring temperatures should typically be around 130°, though experimentation is recommended to determine optimal pouring temperature
• When pouring melted wax into containers, the containers should be at room temperature or slightly warmer
• Allow candles to cool as slow as possible to achieve good jar adhesion and create a smooth finish
