Stearin flakes. Straight chain aliphatic monocarboxylic acids, mainly stearic and palmitic acid.
Stearin is used in candle making because it has a high melting point, making candles stronger, longer burning and lighter in colour. Stearin wax helps to reduce dripping and sooting and gives candles a smooth and shiny appearance. Stearin wax can be mixed with other waxes such as soy or coconut wax to give a longer burning and firmer candle structure. Whether you are looking for a natural, eco-friendly or traditional option, stearin wax is a versatile and reliable choice for your candle making needs.
You can use 100% stearin to create your candles, or add up to 50% soy, coconut and olive waxes for greater candle strength and longer burning times.
100% stearin candles form a beautiful lattice on the outer edge of the candle as they burn.
