    Hi

    Can you share how you like your coco/soy wax. I've been trying to develope a good soy candle and coco/soy has been on my radar. Suppliers are hard to find. 

    I've been working with C3 wax with some sucess. I used parrfin for over 16  years, ( I love everything about parrfin, I've seen a switch in public opion  moving toward a more natural wax) and just recently   soy. Mostly because I can pick up the wax.. Save on shipping.

    Any help/suggestion would be greatly  appreciate.

    Thanks

    Patti

      Fillmore is a great company. I love dealing with them. They have never disappointed me. 

      All my suppliers for coconut wax are west coast and across the nation. I haven't been able to find coconut wax more locally or regionally. Shipping is always a pain when I restock on coco wax. So I certainly try to buy the largest amount I can to try and recoup some of the shipping cost.

      Coco-soy blend has been by far the best wax I've ever used or come across. Took me 3 years to formulate my specific blend to get it just right. C-3 is a very good place to start with Soy. I have used so many kinds of different sources for soy and C-3's scent retention can't be beat. I have never used parrafin so I can't give an honest comparison between the coco-soy and parrafin. The only issue I had with C-3 when I used it on its own without blending with coconut wax, was blooming and frosting. But I bought a heat gun and solved that issue. 

      I use Fillmore Container for my C-3 wax. I am in NJ and they are in PA, a neighboring state, so shipping is normally very fast. (1-2 days). I see you're in NJ as well, so they should be just as convenient for you. 

      I wish you the best of luck with your new soy venture. You will hopefully see a whole new market open up for you. :-)
