topofmurrayhill Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I popped into the natural waxes section at Genwax today and was surprised to see that they're selling palm stearic as "100% palm wax" for making candles with a crystal finish.http://candles.genwax.com/do_not_index/___118541___Z4770430.htmIs it at least somewhat true that palm candle wax and palm stearic are the same thing?

Henryk Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 There are different "palm waxes" even though all are derived from raw palm oil (different oil types from palm nut or fruit) - they can be processed to have a different percentage of acids, etc. So, AFAIK, they aren't the same, at least chemically.
