LauraAndrews Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 These look very intriguing! It looks like these are made by Old Virginia Candle Company, but have never seen them anywhere else, nor could I find much info at all about using olive oil to make candles. www.oliveoilorganics.com http://www.thelampstand.com/oloilca.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beesweet Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Wow, thanks for posting. I'd love to try them but shipping to the east cost is awful. Over $20 for 20 lbs or over $40 for a 55 lb case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I've been making my own olive oil candles for several months now. I started a thread here before I made them, and then posted my results after they were tested. I still make an olive oil & rosemary candle for a wholesale account.

But Henry was very helpful, so here is his email if you have questions about this wax. henry@accu-blend.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Interesting! I've done my own blending of my hard soaping oils, and was less than impressed with *that* outcome! It looked and burned nicely, but after the first burn it always stayed mushy. Course I was just using the oils and not a wax. Nice to see big companies trying other waxes.

I am in SoCal and it would have been a blessing if i could have picked up my order. :undecidedHey maybe we can get Genwax to start carring the ACCU waxes. heheheh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Colton at Genwax is really nice, I will make a request for the olive oil wax, it sounds interesting. So to all you CA candle makers if we all make requests maybe he will see enough interest in the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to all you CA candle makers if we all make requests maybe he will see enough interest in the product. I'd be happy to try again, but I did ask about them carrying Ecosoya at one time and they told me something about an agreement with Cargill and also that they had an issue with warehouse and store space at that time. It has been a while, so it's definitely worth another try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 from this thread....look back at the first page That's what I thought Accu-Blend until you said all olive oil...from an email I got from Henry I was under the impression it was a soy/olive oil blend...maybe I got the wrong impression. I'll need to read up on it again on their site or Swan's site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandlekrazy Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I went back to see if I saved the email, but I didn't...got discouraged when they said I couldn't buy directly from them...of course the whole thing has changed now that I can drive to El Monte and buy from Swan's. I'll see what I can find out from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
