100% Midwest Soy Wax Beads for Candle Making - Natural Candle Making Supplies - Paraffin-Free, Beeswax-Free Candle Wax for Container Candles, Tealights and Wax Melts, 5 lbs

I've been using this specific brand of wax for almost a year now to make my container candles. After doing a bunch of research, I settled on American Soy: Midwest Soy Wax Beads because:1. it is microwaveable - as someone just starting out, I didn't have a double boiler and needed an easy way to melt the wax in a little pyrex cup2. it has an excellent cold throw - meaning you can leave the candle open and still smell the fragrance without lighting it3. it can hold a lot of fragrance - I like medium-strong candle scents, and the candles I make are quite small (3oz), so I wanted my little candle tins to pack a punch!4. it works fantastic for container candles!!! I've used this in ceramic, metal tins, and glass jars without issueOverall, this is one of the best brands of soy wax I've ever used (in my limited experience) and I'm excited to branch out and try their coconut blends! So much better for you than paraffin!!!

I really like it! I used it for container and I have very good result! Quality, smell, colour everything is great can’t say anything bad really work good this ant also try green colour from this product for molds really love it 😻

I ordered this to make some candles for gifts. Easy to melt do to it being in little pellets. The wax is a good quality and holds scent good. Would definitely purchase again.

We tried Maria blends and other manufacturers. We found this one to be the one that gives us the least amount of trouble. They have many different variations of the same mixes, but the prices are just about the best that we found. But in any case, the product works much better than almost every other one we’ve tried. We like the beads better than the flakes, superior productAlso, the turnaround time is relatively quick. With good planning on our end and very good turnaround time. We always have about a bag ahead.

We have used a number of differing soys, parafin and bees wax. This is the better of the soy blends for jar candles. long and clean burn time, better scent carry,

Very good

I bought this as a beginner before reading any reviews. Also bought a pound of beeswax pellets. I proceeded to melt the entire 5 pound bag of this soy wax with the pound of beeswax together stirring throughout the entire melting process (Did this so I wouldn’t have to weigh each out separately when making a batch of candles). Brought it all up to 160 degrees F. All pellets melted, no foreign debris. I poured into muffin tins. No wax separation, no film, no clumps, all cakes were solid wax.First batch of candles. Brought up to temp, melted perfectly, added scent and color, stirred regularly, cooled and poured. Set beautifully in 48 hours. No caving, no sweating, looked great. CT & HT were ok, but I was cautious on scent quantity. Burn time on small mason jar, estimate 24 hours.So, not sure of all the negatives. This beginner had no issues with this wax. Loves it and will use again!

The wax came in a large ziplock bag inside the shipping box and that is how I am storing it, although keeping the box isn't necessary. I bought this for my first candle-making experience. I found the wax very easy to use since it is in small beads rather than a big block that must be cut. I microwaved about a third of the bag in smaller batches by using a large glass measuring cup, added my fragrance and poured it in my candleholders (with wooden wicks). It was really easy. When I was ready to light my candles, they seemed to be of the same quality as ones I usually purchase already-made that use soy wax. It's going to take me quite a while to use up 10lbs, but I plan on making my own candles from now on and I'll definitely be buying this wax again. The only thing I noticed is that the top of the wax wasn't quite as smooth but I think that's because I didn't take the temperature of the wax, so I might have poured it when it was still a little too hot.
