kray2 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 What wax is a food parafin wax? Had a Scentsy rep telling me today at a craft show that scentsy wax bars are so much better than regular parafin wax bars because they use a food parafin wax. She couldn't tell me what that meant for sure, had to get to another customer. I was NOT a customer as I make my own 100% Soy wax candles. Just curious what she meant by that.

Yoshi Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 From what I have heard is that Food grade paraffin wax produces less smoke than other paraffin and burns more slowly. Plus it is supposed to be stripped of all impurities and approved by the FDA. Please correct me if I am wrong.---------Yoshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 yes.. they use it in their advertizements.. that its what they spray on fruit.. but MOST paraffin wax on the market these days is food grade, i thought.is it "better" well, that all depends.

EricofAZ Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I see food grade paraffin sold at the grocery store with the mason jars. I thought it was meant to be used to seal the lids in a way that would not be toxic to the consumer who ate what was inside. I never thought it would be appropriate to make candles with ($3.50/lb) or that it would be any better on the burn than what we get from the regular IGI suppliers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
