LasFloresCandleCo Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 New to the forums! 2 questions please. 1) Is there such a thing as apricot wax? 2) I've noticed that some coconut wax blends contain apricot oil. Why is this? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 The only thing I ever found about apricot has been hydrogenated apricot kernels oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 @BusyBee I love ceda cerica for many reasons. Have you ever dug up a CAS for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have made several candles using Ceda Serica, and I did not like it as much as Coconut 83 or 464. I wasn't getting strong enough HT compared to Coconut 83 or 464. So, I haven't looked into CAS # or other things on that wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find apricot kernel wax in Europe, but it is obscenely expensive. NATUROCHIM is a manufacturer of apricot wax, and it appears there may be a second whose name is escaping me at the moment. LiveMoor is a UK supplier of a cosmetic grade apricot wax, but I haven't confirmed manufacturer. https://www.livemoor.co.uk/products/apricot-wax-cosmetic-grade-wax-various-sizes?variant=33203463061592 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in the same. I have a quote on 25kg of it somewhere. Needless to say, it was cost prohibitive. I've spoken with a couple of manufacturers in the US, and there isn't enough demand for it as a solid for them to consider importing and rebranding it or making their own version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
