Palm Wax for Candles

What makes palm wax distinctive?

Its most characteristic feature is the crystallised or feathered effect that develops as it cools, making it popular for decorative candles. It has a higher melting point than soy wax, which provides good resistance in warm conditions.

How can you achieve a good crystallised effect?

The result mainly depends on cooling speed. Slower cooling at a stable temperature encourages larger, more defined crystals. Pouring at the temperature recommended by the manufacturer is also essential.
