A question I get a lot is what wax do I use in my wax melts and molded candles. It is called Golden Wax 494 soy. This wax is 100% soy-based, natural wax specifically formulated with hydrogenated soy and botanical additives, like beeswax, to make it a higher melt point and a harder wax perfect for molding. Hydrogenated soy is a process using hydrogen that extracts more of the soy oil making it stronger and more rigid. Hydrogenated oils are widely used in foods and cosmetics. GW 494 is a propritory formula, so the exact percentage of ingredients is protected. It is still a 100% natural wax that could be considered vegan. Hope this information is useful in setting your mind at ease. There is no paraffin in my wax melts! Stay safe, warm and have a wonderful Saturday!
