I in fact use various types of wax including paraffin and soy. Not to "satisfy" the customer, although that's a great reason, I use both depending on the melting point and other factors I need for the particular candle I'm making.

Ex. I use Soy wax for conch shell candles. Why? Because it naturally has a lower melting point and thus puts less strain on the shell.

I did not mean to bring something old up. I apologize for that. It simply bothers me to see various chandlers false advertising at the expense of their fellow artisans. This is usually due to a lack of knowledge.

Thank You for the response Scented. I've read that before and it is good information.

I only asked because I hear a lot of candle makers talking about how one type of wax is more eco-friendly than another (which is factually false by the way) and so I was hoping to see how the forum presented this information.

I'm really tempted to go off on a tangent right now about the different types of wax but I'll wait until people want to know.

Does this forum have information on various types of wax? Although I'm a new member I have gained quite a bit of knowledge of different types of wax during my time making candles.
