CandleLab PDX Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I live within long driving distance from www.letitshineusa.com. Order over the phone and pick it up from the warehouse in Kent Washington. Stop by Swans Candles on the way home for wick and scent. Swans has some proprietary paraffin blends I will be trying soon. Let it Shine sells IGI waxes same as most companies. Cargill and IGI seem to be the biggest wax manufacturers. i suspect most of the fragrances come from one or two manufacturers and are then packaged and resold by the candle companies. maybe someone here knows different 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky! as for fragrances, there are several big compounding labs (agilex, symrise, etc) and numerous small across the country. After a while you will be able to smell the diluent in th fragrance and figure out where it came from. Brambleberry, for instance, has fragrances a lab that smell very sweet. AromaHaven usually has a syrupy smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I get wax at Lone Star. It just depends on what I'm ordering at the time. Sometimes I get wax from Aztec too if I'm going to use 4625 or 6006. I like Flaming's granulated wax for tarts too. It can be used in containers too. They have a lot of good oils also. Edited December 28, 2022 by Belinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob82 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 I'm semi close to the Flaming Candle. I wish they still had a store front to smell scents but they don't anymore. Thinking of doing a drive when we get to actually taking orders and selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
