An all natural soy wax that holds lots of fragrance oil and helps reduce frosting. A favorite of soy candle makers everywhere!

Candle Making Notes
Golden Brand's soy waxes are a little newer than those from Cargill and Nature's Gifts, but they've become some of our favorites - especially the 464. It has been very consistent over time, and gives a smooth and creamy appearance - mostly due to its low melt point. While this helps create a nice look and helps to reduce frosting, it can be a little too soft for the summer heat. If you are shipping finished candles in hot weather, you may want to look at a soy wax with a higher melt point, like the GB 444. Golden Brands 464 holds lots of fragrance, but even better, it throws fragrance very well. There are other soy waxes that hold as much, but we've found that if you put the 464 up against other waxes - all with the same amount of fragrance - you get the best fragrance throw with the 464.

New to Soy Wax?
Check out our new video Candle Making with Soy Wax featuring GB 464. The video includes a list of materials to get you started.

As you'll see in the video, the 464 wax in a candle tin, with no color, is really the easiest way to get started making soy candles. There are a couple of reasons why: the opaque sides of the tin hide any glass adhesion imperfections. The natural white color of the wax hides much of the effects of frosting. The 464 soy wax is very consistent, so a beginner will be able to make a terrific candle if they follow the directions closely. Just use one of our soy-tested fragrance oils (ratings of 2 and 3 work best), check out our wick guide, and get started!

Directions:

- Heat soy wax to 185 F (so fragrance oil fully dissolves)
- Add fragrance oil and color
- Remove from heat and stir gently for 2 minutes
- Allow soy wax to cool to desired pour temperature
- Stir gently one last time and pour candle

- Practice Makes Perfect

Ive had trouble using this wax in the beginning getting scent oil on top of my candles. I finally decided to change the pour temp to 160 degrees and yet to have a problem with my candles since.

- Best soy wax ever!!!!!!!!!

I love this doy wax works great!!!! This is the only one I trust!

- This is to the previous post...

By: Daniel Kitchen on 04/10/2010

I had the same problem with a batch. No matter what I did the wax would not solidify correctly with the oil. I tried insanely to fix the problem making over 30 candles. I still have the 50lb box sitting there not being used, but thankfully when I ordered the next case there was no problems at all. So its not just you!

- Having problems with this wax

By: Jeanette Nordi on 03/13/2010

I wrote a previous review for this wax and gave it a great rating. Snice that time...The last 50 lb box that I purchased was a nightmare! I had scent oil coming to the top of my candles. Usually this only occured after I smoothed the tops with a heat gun.(which I have always done with all the waxes that I have used and I have NEVER had a problem) I recieved a lot of support from CS and we were never really able to come to a definate conclusion. Has anyone else ever had this problem? If so ....please email me at j.nordi@comcast.net

- "air bubbles/wells" forming near wicks

By: Heather on 03/01/2010

I really do like this wax - however - i am finding that i get "air bubbles/wells" near the wicks in 1 out of 4 candles i make. i am able to somewhat fix this situation and have tried everything suggested to me to keep this from happening. Not sure why 3 candles can be fine and only one will have a hole.....I might rethink reordering this wax...

i do love the way it looks-very creamy and burns clean & even.

- So Easy!!

- My New Favorite Soy

By: Charles Grantland on 08/27/2009

Finally, a one pour Soy with a smooth creamy top. This will be my choice of container soy from now on.

- Best wax yet !!

By: jnordi on 02/13/2009

I have used many soy waxes. This is by far the best. Tops sometimes need a little work with the heat gun but I get a very smooth looking jar candle. This is the first time I used this wax and it will be the only one I use in the future.

- Beautiful, easy wax

By: Susan Rogers on 11/04/2008

This wax produces a beautiful smooth creamy appearance with great scent throw! Very, very easy to use. I have tried many different waxes includung Eco-Soy and this is the one I will stay with. Thank you for a great product at a great price!

- SO easy to work with

By: Terri on 10/27/2008

I have been making soy wax candles for over 5 years and just finally found this wax this fall. It is SO easy to work with - it really streamlines the process and it takes almost no time to crank out a whole bunch of candles!

- Easy to use- Amazing scent throw

By: Stephanie on 08/20/2008

I was having trouble finding a soy wax with amazing scent throw until I tried this wax. Very easy to use once you get the hang of it and the scent throw is insane! My all time favorite soy wax out there and I have really tried almost all of them!
