GarthAlgar Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 What is chemically altered or added when making a "pure soy" pillar? Can there even be a pure soy pillar or are all of these suppliers lying? For the longest time, I thought you couldn't make a pure soy pillar and that other waxes needed to be added to the mix, like palm or paraffin. But even the big suppliers claim that they have "100% pure soy pillar waxes". How can that be? What else is typically added to harden? And what do they mean when they say something like "natural soy with vegetable waxes"? Could that just be soy with stearin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdcharm Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I've been under the impression that soy pillar is typically a parasoy and that 100% soy is a container wax. And, how is anyone saying "natural" soy when (as far as I know) there is no organic soy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinlaipe Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I usually use Ecosoya PB only to make pure soy pillar when I would like to make craft candle because of the color dye control issue. You can see the Spectrum candle in my gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
