EcoSoya CB 135 wax pastilles in white bowl
Choose a Variant

EcoSoya waxes were a favorite of candle makers for nearly 20 years. When NGI made the decision to close their business in 2019, they left a big gap in the soy wax market. In early 2020, UK-based manufacturer Kerax purchased the brand and these popular soy waxes are, very happily, once again available.

EcoSoya CB-135 is a one-pour, all natural container wax that requires no additional additives. Packaged in pastille form for easy handling and measuring, this wax produces smooth, even tops and exhibits good scent throw. 

Learn more about working with EcoSoya CB-135 wax by checking out our lab notes.

Note: Wax is packaged in pastille form.

Like It But

Love the look of this wax gives nice smooth tops on the candles I have made. I'm having a problem, however. I'm using a 3.66-inch diameter candle jar. I measured the diameter by running a string around the outside to get the exact circumference, which was 11.5 inches, and divided by PI to get the diameter of the jar. I used the recommended LX24 wick. I did a four hour burn test, and at the end of the test a film of wax remains along the sides of the jar above the wax pool.

My go-to wax!

I'm newer to candle making and I've used a couple different soy waxes so far, but this one is definitely the best. It's so easy to work with and my tops come out smooth as butter every time! I typically pour into 8oz amber straight jars at 135° and have excellent results without any fuss. Hot and cold throw are both quite nice, not overpowering, and true to expectations.

CHALKY AFTER SITTING

UGH. I SPENT 150.00 ON THIS WAX AND ITS CHALKY WHEN IT SITS. I AM GETTING READY FOR A BOOTH COMING UP, AND I CANT USE THIS. I DIDNT EXPECT THIS TO BE A THING CONSIDERING I SPENT ALL THIS MONEY - I PREVIOUSLY USED THE 464 BUT I WANTED TO TRY THE "NICER" BRAND.

Some new Problems

Has the formulation changed? I have not changed anything in my making of candles or storage of them. However, recently, the wax doesn't want to harden, it becomes spongy and does rise. I have a fair amount of candles that I don't feel I can sell due to this, and was wondering what, if anything I can do to remedy this, outside of using heat guns or not selling these candles.

Rising around the wick

After about a week, the tops of my candles look chalky and the wax has risen significantly. I’ve used this wax for about 2 years, and never experienced this issue. Did the formula change? If so, the mfr needs to switch back to the original formula. I’ve sold a few of these candles, and I’m sure the wax has risen to swallow the wick. Also, the tops are extremely wavy. I don’t know how to fix this issue and I can’t make candles anymore using this blend. I’m certain I lost 2 customers because of this.

I need help

The tops are so smooth and the ht is better than some other I have tried but still not very good! I wish candle science would answer peoples questions on the review page instead of emailing us separately because we all have a lot of the same questions! But please reach out to me and help me figure out how to get a better ht with this wax

Has something changed?

I am having the same issue as others, chalkiness and some rising… I do not know how to remedy this and have not had these problems with this wax in the past…I cannot sell these candles:(

Serious frosting issues

This wax settles horribly! The finish is not smooth AT ALL! It is a chalk like finish. Very disappointing.

Not so good.

I usually use the EcoSoya Advanced but since it sells out pretty fast I was left with this wax and I am not happy. The way this wax finishes is horrible. It's chalky, not smooth and I probably won't be able to sell this candles. I wish knew this before I bought a whole case .

Very good wax

I have had nothing but good experiences with this wax. But I am left at a loss on the steady price increases.
