Best Wax ever, I used this to launch my first Candle making business and it has never let me down. I can't believe this is discontinued my customer's love it. What would you suggest as an alternate wax in comparison to this one?

I applaud Candle Science for pulling this wax. I gave 2 stars because this is actually the best-performing pure soy wax I've tried, but I could not in good conscience support Cargill any longer. Hopefully this decision will influence them and other companies to use more ethical practices. If you are planning on ordering it from another supplier, please read the report and reconsider.

I commend Candlescience for making a stand on this product. Soy candles are all about sustainability and environmental conscience. I was unaware of the massive environmental and social issues associated with Cargill and I appreciate the link to the report. If you haven’t read the report, please do. While I don’t yet sell my candles, I could not in good conscience tout the values of soy while using this wax. This product falls far short of the environmental standards I would want in a soy based candle, hence the 1 star review.

That said, I am curious about Candlescience’ stance on Paraffin based waxes, a petroleum based product. I may have missed it but is there a link for the criteria you use to determine an environmentally responsible product?

In response to Doreece Edwords....
You can get your C3 Wax from Flaming Candle, just thought I would let you know. The Coconut wax is also good a good wax. Hope this helps. I can agree, when having to look for a new wax and start testing all over can be hard and stressful at times.

Sad to see this wax go, but I do have to say CS did not have this wax for all that long. Only a little over 7 months they had this product. I have read the post that CS posted reguarding there reasons, why they choose to get rid of this soy wax. I know they had a decision to make, with that said, I will continue to get this C3 wax that enjoy using from my main supplier who I have been getting it from for over 5 years. I found it convenient when I would order my Jars etc, and had a very large order with CS, I would order my C3 wax as well, to get the 100 weight discount. Since I have been a customer with CS I have seen them change alot of products that were working just fine. I understand making a Fragrances Phalate Free and such. But when CS changes the notes completely and the new product/products are not even close in compare makes it hard on all of us!!

C3 in my opinion is the best most consistent wax out there. Superior scent throw and amazing adhesion. I will be getting my wax and oils from Fillmore Container.
Beside discontinuing this, and changing superior oils. Many candle companies were fine with the other fragrance formulations for their customers. The new formulas don’t come close to previous scents, for example the old gardenia which was the best out there replaced by a frangipani scent that is weak.

I have been using gb464 for the past 2 years and because of the inconsistency with it, I decided to try C3-Soy. My experience thus far with my first batch of this wax has been great. I followed the recommendations from Candle Science and I had little to no sink holes, no frosting and my CT/HT has been awesome so I am extremely sad to see this wax go. It looks like I will have to switch to coconut wax. I hear nothing but great things about it. From a business standpoint, the cost involved in switching waxes can get costly. I just want to use a wax that is consistent.

When I first heard Q210 was being discontinued I was sick to my stomach because I finally found a good wax that held a true hot and cold scent throw and my customers loved my candles the hot throw was the best despite the horrible frosting and cracking that didn't matter. So fast forward to now I'm using Cargill NatureWax C-3 Soy Wax' and it's a very misleading wax the cold throw is amazing but the hot throw really sucks it's a situation where as a consumer you would hope they would supply us with a good wax it's inconsistent its frustrating running a business why even sell wax that doesn't do its purpose I just don't know what to do about my business I'm just really sad and disappointed.

After many problems with the consistency using 464 I tried this C3 wax. Absolutely love it!! Over the past year I found what works for me and my candles to come out perfect every time with excellent scent throw hot and cold and smooth creamy tops. Room temp and drafts will make a big difference with sink holes. Also pouring too hot of too fast creates sink holes. I have my room at 70-72. I heat the wax to 185 then add FO and stir for 3 minutes. After the 3 minutes stir I time for exactly 5 minutes, then pour very slowly into slightly heated glass jars. Works perfect every time!
