blakyue Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I’m looking to try other coconut waxes besides my tried and true coco apricot. I’ve had my eye on coco bright for a long while now. I’ve scoured this forum and my coconut wax Facebook group and haven’t found anything that gives a true comparison. How do they perform compared to one another? Does one have a better HT than the other? Has anyone tried to blend these two waxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 What exactly is coco brite ? Is it 6570? With the renaming of the limited coconut products it is hard to know which we are actually buying. We have bought the same wax under different names a couple of times unknowingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerven Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Might be the Accu-Blend Hybrid Coconut Container Blend. CCS specifically calls the coco brite a "hybrid" wax, which Accu-Blend also states about theirs. Unfortunately, the Accu-Blend wax doesn't appear to have a published # like all the other waxes. CCS's SDS for the wax is a broken link too. So... IDK. Given CCS's penchant for Accu-Blend waxes, it seems likely. I'm keeping an eye out for Ecosoya's Ecococo and Kerax's 4135. Haven't been able to find either in the USA. Australia and UK get all the fun stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa11 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 @blakyue I use coconut apricot. I spoke with Eric over at California candle supply and asked him if it was actually coconut apricot wax because it has a similar description down to the melt point and small about of paraffin. He said that it was not. One of my friends uses that wax and I know she has had luck with smaller CD wicks as I have with my coco. However I have tested a ton of different types of wicks and I know that she has not tested different types. Which FB group are you referring to? I like the one that is dedicated to users that only use coconut waxes that is usually my go to, to get ideas and some comparisons. I would ask Eric over there for a sample but I decided to commit to coco apricot and make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with both of these waxes being so new our informative resources are pretty limited. I did do 3 pan tests for the coco apricot I posted my first one in here and need to post the other 2 I completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyBee Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Coco Bright #11 should be Accu-Blend Hybrid Coconut Blend. I would recommend Calwax Coconut-Apricot over Coco Bright #11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PINKT Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 UPDATE! Eric from CCS says their #11 Coco Bright is NOT from Accu-Blend, however that doesn't mean that the supplier he's getting it from isn't getting it from Accu-Blend.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyscents Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Not saying he is lying, but some suppliers will not reveal that information purposely so consumers think he is the only one to purchase from. 🤑 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
