Teach Soap

I would like to make a Soy Veg. base w/Bees wax candle. How can I try to achieve this?

Container or pillar?

Container.

You can, but it will take a lot of experiments to get just the right blend of soywax and beeswax. If you change any color or scent, the experiment will start again. Why not purchase a premade soy blend that's suitable for making pillars?

Is there a soy blend for Containers with bees wax?

I tried looking but couldn't find anything. Reason why i would like to go this route is because Soy by itself does not hold scent well. So figured using Bees wax it would help and its still natural as opposed to using Paraffin.

Thoughts?

Go take a look at Kentucky Candle Supplies. They have a natural soy blend that's made for pillars. It has no paraffin. Most soywax vendors that I have seen online do not carry a soy/beeswax blend as the wicking could be difficult.

Would I be able to use this for Containers as well?

Thanks for you help.

If I add beeswax to my soy what would be the percentage if using 1lb of wax in total; for container not pillar?
(ie.90% soy and 10% beeswax per pound)

really appreciate your help.

Thanks so much
