EcoSoya PB Pillar Soy Candle Wax
Choose a Variant

Product Notice January 18, 2023: Moving forward, Kerax is manufacturing EcoSoya PB Pillar Soy Wax as pastilles instead of flakes.

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 PB is a great choice for creating pillar candles, votives, wax melts, and tarts. This all-natural, 100% soy wax exhibits very good scent throw, achieves vibrant colors, and releases easily from molds. 

Learn more about working with EcoSoya PB wax by checking out our lab notes.

Note: Wax is now packaged in pastille form.

So far so good!

I used it for Pillar Candles and wax melt, so far it has been working for me. One thing I noticed that I have to go by exact temperature requirement other than that I would have frosting, breakage and all kind of problems with wax melt. I need to make sure to choose the right mold for it. It is time consuming; however, if I get it right and timing it, watching it closely and not rushing it, won't be a problem at the result. I kinda Learn more about how to work with it when I purchased it my second 44lb, so it was not easy. Also I work with flake wax a lot better than pastille.

Sunken Centers

I am struggling with this wax sinking in the center for wax melts and votives. I see others have mentioned this same issue, but no resolution has been posted. I would like to know what is suggested to help prevent this problem.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Pillar waxes like EcoSoya PB shrink quite a bit as they cool, so a second pour may be needed to get a flat top. Adjusting pour temperature by +/-5°F and placing melts/votives on a wire cooling rack to set can help reduce shrinkage in the center as well.

Meh

I've been testing this wax for a while to make wax melts and although the CT and HT are okay (not amazing) I'm getting A LOT of frosting and they just don't look good enough for me to sell. What do you suggest I change in the process?

Having Trouble

I've just started maxing wax melts and am having trouble with sinking centers and the wax sticking to the molds with this wax. It sees to be good for a nice hot and cold throw. Should I be adding additives with it?

Never Again

I think you need to take this Eco wax off the market. I'm so disappointed in the results that I got out of this wax and what it left me with is terrible. I was asked to make wax melts for one of my friends daughter as a shower gift for her guest. I refused to put my name on those, because every last one of them have dips and I can't even get a scent. What is wrong with this wax? I follow your guidelines and how to use this wax and it still failed. And by the way which instruction do you really recommend, you have your guide that temps at 113 and pour at 160 and what you put on the bag is temp at 185 and pour at 160. I tried them both and its still the same FAILED. I have wax on my hands that I will never use now. So how can we fix this problem?

Sunken Centers!!

Although this wax appears to perform great-ish I always experience a sunken center with my wax melts. I’ve only been using it for about a month and although I love how smooth the tops are, I hate that the middles are always sunken in, especially when this is something that I had not experienced in other waxes that I have used before. Is there any remedy to this issue? I have poured at both 160 degrees and 150 degrees. Both temps have resulted in smooth tops but very sunken centers.

Wonderful experience!

I use this was for container candles, and let me tell you… My candles turn out amazing. These work great for creating candles you want to burn for days at at time in container. My container candle can burn for 2 week at 20ozs. The wax has a great hot and cold throw. You definitely have to follow the 6% ratio. Allow the candles to cure for a good two or three weeks before burning. I took a chance on this wax and I’m glad I did. It burns clean and my customers love it!

I made a sample pillar using a small dixie cup and it "popped" right out nice and smooth as it can get. If I was to make a 4.5 pillar what size LX wick I should use?
