Is it true?  Are paraffin wax candles toxic?  In a nutshell, no.  Paraffin wax candles are no more “toxic” than soy wax candles – and that is corroborated by scientific research.   As a quick aside, perhaps this is the moment to find a few synonyms for the word “toxic” : harmful, noxious, poisonous. Misinformation about Paraffin Wax:  Malicious Campaign or Intellectual Laziness? The internet abounds with assertions that paraffin wax candles are in some way “toxic”.  These nebulous assertions include the priceless “it is harmful to breathe the smoke from paraf ..read more

NOTES ON SOY WAX IN COLD PROCESS SOAP Source :  Soap Making Forum  www.soapmakingforum.com You can make great soap with it. No, you don’t use it in place of beeswax in soap… beeswax and soy wax have different qualities. Here’s what I have found about soy wax in soap (from my own experience): 1. Soy wax greatly reduces shrinkage/warping in soap bars. 2. Soy wax does not add lather, so you should not use more than say 50% of it in your soap. The more soy wax you use, the more of a good lathering oil you need to use in addition to it. 3. It adds density and creamines ..read more

You will appreciate our natural beeswax even more when you understand what extraordinary effort it takes for bees to produce honey (and wax).  Bees must visit 2 million flowers to make one 500g bottle of honey. One bee makes only one-twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. A hive of bees flies the equivalent of 3 orbits around the earth to colle ..read more
