Why is there sometimes frost (cauliflower bursts) in soy candles?
Soy wax is a natural substance that has it’s own natural traits. Natural wax often produces a frosted look similar to “mottling” or what some call “star-bursts” or “cauliflower”. The natural vegetable base is much like chocolate and reacts like chocolate when warmed and cooled. This is a natural characteristic and should not be considered a flaw. We want to keep the pureness of soybean wax therefore our soy candles do not contain chemicals to prohibit this effect. Due to this, maddison avenue makes all of their soy candles dye-free to keep them natural (unless requested otherwise). :: is the wax you use pure soybean wax or do you mix it with paraffin wax? :: We use pure soybean wax in our soy candles.
