  • Hi there, I have been experimenting with candle making in 28 c heat using this coconut wax mixed with soy wax and it won't set properly, is the 5 & 10% you mention above for the coconut wax ratio with 95 & 90% soy wax? I think I have been adding too much coconut wax. Also does this coconut wax go in soaps, lip balms and moisterisers? Thanks Katie
  • HI Katie, We recommend starting around 5% then moving up to a maximum of 10% with C3 if you are using a different wax you may have to adjust. The coconut wax is very soft it help adhesion and whites soy and is very clean burning. It is partially hydrogenated and will not work as an oil unless it is heated ie in moisturising candles.CS

  • Hi there, can you please answer my question, can I use the coconut wax as a coconut oil in moisterisers by adding it to shea butter, is it not setting in my candles because I am in 28 degree heat, thanks
  • Hi Katie, The coconut wax is not suitable in moisturisers as it is no longer an oil as it has been partly hydrogenated. In regards to using Coconut wax you should mix it with soy at between 5 to 10% it will help adhesion and gives you a smoother surface however temperature varies depending on the wax you are using and the fragrance load. Testing is essential. CS
