RMullen99 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Hi Everyone.......I got my first Slatkin and Co candle from B&BW over the Holidays...it is Fresh Balsam. This candle is really nice! Great throw much better than the Yank** Candle in my opinion. Full meltpool with no hangup and the HT is AWESOME. Looked on the bottom and saw that it is a vegi blend.....anyone have any thoughts on their wax. This defintily has to have paraffin in it too.

Wessex Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I would be surprised if you could find the exact blend they use, most likely keep it as a "trade secret". It is most likely a soy/paraffin blend. Since soy wax if much less expensive than paraffin right now, I would assume it is more soy than paraffin. Of course paraffin is easier to work with (IMO), so it may be more paraffin than soy. Not much help, sorry. Many of these blends are available (such as IGI 6006). I am just guessing here, maybe someone else might know more.Cheers,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that when he was on QVC he said t was mostly soy but would not elaborate on anything else in the mix. This candle has been really nice...good scent and nice burn so far.

oakbrookcandles Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 If its one of their 3 wick candles BE CAREFUL,, It will clean the sides of the glass for sure..... as the glass will get insanely hot... We burned a pine something one of theirs. They are WAY WAY WAY overwicked. Hate to bad mouth anyones candles but they are dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I agree they are probably a parasoy blend but I doubt you will ever find out what they use. I would even venture to guess they have their wax custom blended for them and I don't mean the pre-blended waxes you can buy at a candle supply store.But having said that there is absolutely no reason you can't come up with your own super veggie blend.

R.S. Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I bought a Fresh Lemon over the holidays and I absolutely love the hot throw on it. Now the wick is nowhere near center, causing some hangup on the opposite side. But other than that, no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 My guess is the same as everyone else, its most likely are parasoy blend of some sort. I have one and it wasnt bad but it definitly burned very hot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
