The two-pour method involves pouring wax to below the desired fill line of your container or mold, letting the wax cool and shrink, then doing a second pour of melted wax to fill in the shrunken areas and fill to your desired height. \nConsistency: Because paraffin candle wax is so highly refined, its behavior and performance is remarkably consistent. Plant-based waxes tend to vary in appearance and moisture content from batch to batch. The variations may be minimal and unrecognizable, but they can still cause frustration during the candle making process! Many candle makers who use plant-based waxes can quickly learn to spot, and then correct, any natural variations. Makers who switch to paraffin wax or paraffin blends after using plant-based waxes are often relieved to learn that dealing with inconsistencies from batch to batch isn’t an issue with paraffin candles. This is one of many reasons why paraffin is thought to be more user-friendly than plant-based waxes. For high-volume makers, using a more consistent wax can save a lot of time and frustration. \n","4193836",[],{"name":1517,"fixed":11,"position":235,"createdAt":1830,"updatedAt":1830,"deprecated":11,"id":1831,"ingredients":1832,"nestedElements":1872},"2024-05-24T11:34:15.635-04:00","1841238",[1833,1870],{"role":1522,"value":1834,"deprecated":11,"title":1524,"caption":48,"linkClassName":48,"linkTitle":48,"linkTarget":48,"altText":1835,"linkUrl":48,"imageDimensions":1836,"srcset":1837,"imageName":1866,"imageFileName":1867,"imageMimeType":293,"imageFileSize":1868,"id":1869},"https:\u002F\u002Fd2r3z0h7oyiawr.cloudfront.net\u002F2024\u002F05\u002F21\u002F16\u002F01\u002F41\u002Fd97d0ce0-a1f3-4dd5-a754-c1d49b4dd84c\u002Fparaffin-wax-v-1.jpg","A close-up shot of a metal pouring pitcher that's overfilled with slices of paraffin wax.

Paraffin is a petroleum byproduct and the crude oil industry has a deservedly terrible reputation. \nNot only is petroleum a nonrenewable resource, but the ways it’s extracted negatively impact the environment. Drilling, fracking, and oil spills result in habitat destruction, water pollution, and ecosystem disruption—and that only covers a small portion of the problems with the petroleum industry. \nAs a company, we’re committed to minimizing our environmental impact. We know there are major issues with many aspects of the petroleum industry, and we don’t want to encourage anyone to use petroleum byproducts if they don’t feel comfortable with them.
