Choosing a Soy Wax

Start with the type of candle you are making. Container soys are soft so they hold to the glass as they cool, while Golden Brands 494 is formulated firmer for melts and tarts. Then choose between pure and enhanced soy. Pure soys like Golden Brands 402 and 415 pour at a low 90 to 100°F and are easy to work with. Enhanced soys like Golden Brands 444 and 464 carry additives that raise the fragrance load or smooth the finish, and they pour warmer, at 125 to 145°F.

If a smooth top matters most, Golden Brands 454 coconut soy and NatureWax C-3 are made for a single pour. Our soy wax guide compares melt point, fragrance load, and pour temperature for each wax side by side.

Soy needs a wick made for natural waxes. The ECO series is built for soy, and our guide to wicking lists starting sizes by vessel diameter. Burn-test any new wax and wick pairing before a production run.

Bulk and Wholesale Soy Wax

All soy waxes on this page are priced at wholesale. Each starts at a 10-pound bag, moves up to a 45 or 50 pound case, and ships by the full pallet for production lines. The per-pound price drops at each step automatically, with no separate wholesale account, application, or order minimum required.

With five U.S. warehouses, a case or pallet of soy ships at lower freight than a single-location supplier can offer. You can also order online and pick up free at our locations in Keller, Texas; Northampton, Pennsylvania; Ontario, California; Orlando, Florida; and Plainfield, Indiana.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which soy wax is best for candle making?

Choose by the candle and the finish you want. Golden Brands 402 and 415 are pure soy container waxes that pour easily at low temperatures. Golden Brands 444 and 464 are enhanced soys with additives for a stronger throw and a smoother top. Golden Brands 454 blends coconut and soy for a smooth single pour, and NatureWax C-3 suits containers and tealights. Our soy wax guide compares melt point, fragrance load, and pour temperature for each.

Do you sell soy wax in bulk?

Yes. Soy wax comes in a 10-pound bag, a 45 or 50 pound case, and a full pallet, with quantity pricing built into every listing. The per-pound price drops at the case and pallet sizes with no wholesale account or order minimum required. You can also order online and pick up free at any of our five locations.

Does your soy wax come as flakes?

Yes. Soy wax ships as flakes that scoop and weigh straight into the pouring pot, so there is no slab to break up. Weigh the flakes by the pound rather than measuring by volume; our soy wax measuring guide shows how.

Is soy wax non-toxic?

Soy wax is made from hydrogenated soybean oil, a renewable crop, and both soy and paraffin meet federal standards for candle use. Soot comes from a wick that is too large or untrimmed, in any wax. A well-wicked, trimmed soy candle burns with very little soot. Our soy vs. paraffin comparison covers soot and safety in more detail.

How much fragrance oil can soy wax hold?

It depends on the wax. Manufacturer-recommended maximums run from 6 to 8 percent for Golden Brands 402 up to 9 to 11 percent for Golden Brands 444. You can load up to your wax's maximum, but never past it, since any oil beyond what the wax retains separates out instead of adding throw. Add fragrance at 180°F.

What soy wax should I use for wax melts?

Golden Brands 494 is a soy melt and tart wax made with bio-based additives so it holds a crisp shape in the mold and releases scent in a warmer. Shop it in our soy wax for melts and tarts collection.
