Why You Should Choose Coconut Wax Candles from Leather & Light
If you are looking for high-quality, eco-friendly, and long-lasting candles, you should consider coconut wax candles from Leather & Light. Coconut wax is one of the best types of wax for candle making, and it has many advantages over other waxes. In this blog post, we will explain what coconut wax is, how it is made, and why it is superior to other waxes. We will also show you some of our amazing coconut wax candles that you can order from our website!
What is Coconut Wax?
Coconut wax is a natural and renewable wax that is derived from coconut oil. Coconut oil is extracted from the meat of coconuts, which are harvested from coconut trees. Coconut trees are sustainable and eco-friendly crops that do not require pesticides or herbicides, and they can produce coconuts for up to 80 years.
Coconut oil is then hydrogenated, which means that hydrogen atoms are added to the oil molecules to make them solid at room temperature. This process transforms the oil into a white and odorless wax that has a high melting point and a smooth texture.
How is Coconut Wax Made?
Coconut wax is made by mixing coconut oil with soy wax, which is another natural and renewable wax that is derived from soybeans. Soy wax helps to harden the coconut wax and make it more stable and workable. The ratio of coconut oil to soy wax varies depending on the manufacturer, but it is usually around 90% coconut oil and 10% soy wax.
The coconut-soy wax blend is then cleaned, filtered, and melted in a large pot. The melted wax is then mixed with fragrance oils or essential oils to create different scents. The scented wax is then poured into molds or containers to form candles.
Why is Coconut Wax Superior to Other Waxes?
Coconut wax has many benefits over other types of waxes, such as paraffin wax, beeswax, or palm wax. Here are some of the reasons why coconut wax is the best choice for candle-making:
- Coconut wax burns cleaner and longer than other waxes. It produces less soot and smoke, which means less air pollution and less cleaning. It also burns slower and more evenly, which means more value for your money.
- Coconut wax has a superior scent throw than other waxes. It holds fragrance better and releases it more gradually, which means more pleasant and consistent aromas. It also works well with both synthetic and natural fragrances.
- Coconut wax is more biodegradable and non-toxic than other waxes. It does not contain any chemicals or additives that can harm your health or the environment. It is also vegan and cruelty-free.
- Coconut wax has a greater aesthetic appeal than other waxes. It has a bright and white color that can be easily dyed to create different colors. It also has a smooth and glossy finish that looks elegant and classy.
