I have spent the last year playing with mp117. I love low melt-point waxes and this one is certainly that. The hot and cold throw is great. Almost every fragrance throws well, and it makes a beautiful colored candle. My only complaint is the soot. It loves to soot. In fact, it hates CD wicks, lol, as I get the most soot using them. LX wicks did better but still left too much soot. I am a seasoned candle-maker and know that the fragrance load is important. I tested at 10% (way too high), all the way down to 3% and it didn't help with the soot. Even my base candle with no fragrance, just wax and wick, was a sooting nightmare. The solution? Zinc core wicks. Yes, they do shroom but they soot very little compared to the other wicks. It is not a little difference, it is a huge one. I wish I could share images to show what I mean! And because this wax melts so easily, the few size options are okay. LX would be my next go-to. Also, I had to keep my wicks really short. Overall, I like this wax and will continue to play with it.

This is my third update so far. I love this wax, because it throws scent so well. Only the lighter scents don't throw that well, but that isn't many. The only issue is that it gives me headaches. Possibly because I have sinus issues and the burning candles give me pressure behind the eyes. I'm sure most people don't have this issues but I do.

I did a lot of research before choosing this wax, and wow! This wax exceeded my expectations for my first candle making experience. Very happy with this wax. I will definitely be ordering more.

I just want to follow up with a 6 month review about this wonderful wax. The first thing always test . But after testing for close to a year. I tied this wax when I didn’t have any experience as a candle maker. Now Wow! This wax is amazing. I made my own blend with 10% soy. And it’s the best, we all know soy can pick up all the scent notes. And the ht is amazing, I just love Mp117. The only thing that is in the back of my mind. Is I hope candle science keeps this wax . I love candle science and I buy mostly from them. But if you want to use this wax . Use zinc wicks.

This wax is exactly what my candles have been needing / missing! I work with a coconut/soy blend and although some FO work well with it, we all know that natural waxes can be far pickier than paraffin. I was spending weeks researching the perfect paraffin blending wax (there are SO many options out there), until I decided to try this one. It's surprisingly soft for a paraffin wax and doesn't have any odor. It honestly melts very well with coconut / soy.

I use just 10% of this in my custom wax blend and that is all I need! Since it's such a small amount, it doesn't affect my wick series so I'm loving that. I'm able to keep my wicks and just tweak sizes and fragrance load as needed with this new addition to my blend. My tops haven't changed and no sink holes. The only thing that's changed is an improved Hot Throw (which was what was missing!). I'd also say Cold Throw is a notch better as well, which is an added bonus. The results so far are EXACTLY what I was hoping for with adding paraffin to my blend. I'm very excited to continue testing with this wax.

I highly recommend trying this wax as a blending wax for those who work with plant base waxes for those nuance HT and CT issues!!
