Ramblingman42 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hello Everyone! I am trying to get a pulse on the tallow market for candle making. Ideally a tallow blend. Why do people make candles with tallow? I hear there is a no truer white candle than a hydrogenated tallow candle. Does anyone feel there is a market for tallow candles? After all, it is a very resourceful wax because it helps to eliminate waste coming from the animal. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I get the sense that the tallow candles people might use now are from the stearic acid component distilled from tallow. Plain old beef tallow has a beefy stink to it when fresh and can smell rancid if not cleaned well. The jug of tallow I use for shaving soap will melt rather easily, making a nice mess as it melts.
