I've been a 464 girl for years but I was excited to try this wax and even with the negative reviews was pretty positive that I could make it work. The lower price point, higher melt point, promises of less appearance issues, and being made in the USA attracted me.

My first tester was made in an 8oz mason jar, with a CD 14 wick, and Grapefruit and Mint FO at 8% (so glad this FO is a clean scent now!). My room temp was 65 and I heated the wax slowly to 198 (no double boiler). I added the FO at 185 and poured slowly at 145. I rinse my jars with very hot water right before wicking and pouring to heat slightly. After pouring, I cooled the candle on a wire rack, tapping to remove air bubbles. I absolutely LOVED working with this wax - the pellets made scooping a breeze! No sticky wax messes with SimplySoy!!

After cooling, the candle had a creamy appearance and texture, no sink holes. (Maybe everyone's problem with sink holes comes from pouring temp and maybe cooling method?) There were a couple of very, very slight "bumps" on the surface but nothing noticeable if you're not the candlemaker and inspecting super close and honestly better than 464. Overall great appearance! CT wasn't bad but nothing too great - I'd say 464 has better initial CT.

24 hours - CT much stronger, one tiny wet spot near the top of the candle. If I had used 464 and poured in a room at 65 degrees, there probably would have been a lot more appearance issues.

5 days - great CT, the wet spot had disappeared completely and the appearance was flawless!!

7 days - time for the real test! Since I was used to 464 and the 2 week cure time, I was skeptical about what the HT would be like after just a week. But to my surprise, it was great!! It burned well with a full melt pool and after blowing out and cooling, the top was totally smooth and the appearance still great!

I highly recommend this wax! I think the negative reviews are coming from people who just simply followed the instructions and gave up cause it didn't work. Test small batches so you don't ruin a bunch of materials, but test! I think all soy wax users should know that nothing comes easy with soy (although this wax was pretty perfect!). 464 has to be worked with and you have to figure out exactly what works for you. No different with SimplySoy! But once you find that formula, you'll have yourself a new wax! I'm so excited about a cheaper wax with better performance and shorter curing time! Thank you, CandleScience!!

We have not changed wax / used a different type of wax since starting business out with 464. 464 was a challenge to start, for a novice candlemaker when it came to wicking / tunneling / etc. This SimplySoy wax has been so incredibly easy to use. We have not changed our fragrance load, and contrary to CS testing notes, did not need to wick up! The wax is more powdery than 464 and melts SO much faster! The cold and hot throw is absolutely amazing. It seems to hold up better to heat, and I'm excited to see how it performs at outdoor craft shows here in coastal Georgia. My one minor complaint is it does seem to burn through the candle slightly faster than 464 - i.e. aggressive burn test got 43 hours out of 464, but approx. 36 out of SimplySoy. We have to do further testing since it may have been that it was only 3 days post-pour and we were impatient to try ;) I'm having some difficulty getting smooth tops but assume I just need to find my right pouring temperature and keep consistent. Thanks CandleScience for providing a new option that is affordable, easier to use, and domestic USA!

Hi- new to this wax. I poured 2 7OZ jars with limoncello crème 9% fo. Let them
cure for 3 days and the cold throw was good. First burn for 2 hours it wasn’t what I am use to with the coconut wax. I just poured 3 7OZ Pumpkin Spice Buttercream used 1.5oz fo. Any suggestions for a stronger hot throw. Thank you I love all your products so I’m sure it’s just a simply fix.

Like the final product but when it sets the hot throw and the cold throw can barely be smelled, what can I do to change this. I used one pound of artisan wax and added 1oz. of white peach blossom, what did I do wrong??

I really do like this wax a lot and plan to stick with it but lately I've been getting a lot of wet spots which for my clear containers is not the best. Any tips would be appreciated!
