Margaritamama Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I heard via the grapevine that NGI is discontinuing production of their EcoSoya PB wax that I have been using for my clamshell melts. Now I'm at a loss as to what other soy wax will work. I have tested a few that I made with GB 444 and they seem to have worked pretty well, but I'm not sure if it's a long term solution. I don't sell my melts. I use them myself, occasionally give to those family members who express jealousy at how good my home always smells, so perfection is not required, and I would prefer to not have to blend with paraffin. Has anyone had any luck using a soy container wax? And which works best? I would appreciate some guidance so that I don't have to waste a lot of money buying a whole lot of wax that may not get used. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The email I received from supplies is that they are reformulating it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 There is a ton of info on here about soy wax for melts, and also specifically using clamshells. Choose a soy you can get locally, if you want it to be harder, blend with soy pillar wax. I honestly believe any soy wax will work, it's just a matter of testing which works with each fo you have.

GoldieMN Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Aztec tells me the company that makes Ecosoya PB is moving which is why it is unavailable at this time. She didn't mention it was being reformulated; doesn't mean it isn't though. Goldie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Here is the announcement on NGI's site about their new waxes being launched in 2017: http://www.ngielements.com/ Also, if you use NGI wax (Ecosoya) now or plan to in the future I would bookmark the site to read up on and use the site for information and announcements on their waxes. I always checked them out periodically when I was working with Ecosoya. It helps you produce a much better candle application if you understand how the wax you are using is formulated and what are its properties and functions.

KrisS Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) I offered my unopened box of PB via PM to someone if they'll provide a shipping label. PM was read, no response...so anyone want it? I sent a box to another board member a couple of months ago. She eventually got it after I got motivated enough to take it to the shipper. No scam. I just want it gone. (I'm not selling it, so it doesn't fit in the classifieds.) Edited January 16, 2017 by KrisS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 You still need to put your offer in the classies even if you are giving it away. This is not the right forum for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
