Is IGI416 similar to Ecosoya PB Pillar Blend?

I am trying to find a substitute for IGI 416. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I've never heard of IGI 416. Most of IGI waxes are paraffin so they wouldn't be too similar to any soy waxes. 

Can you elaborate or give a link to the 416, so we can read up on it and give our opinions?

I remember 416 as being a soy pillar/votive wax.  I think it is a GB wax, though - not IGI.  Ecosoya PB is probably the closest thing to it.

So sorry!!  it is Golden Wax 416 as nursenancy said!... i can't figure out how to edit my post!

Why do you want to get away from 416?

It's a supply issue...fewer suppliers carry 416...and the shipping to me is on the higher side to me on the east coast from these suppliers, unfortunately.

Thanks, nursenancy! I am very new to wax and the descriptions of 416 and Ecosoya PB are similar but I have no experience myself with the PB. I will get some to test now!
