How to read the comparison
Melting point
The temperature at which the wax turns liquid. Low-melt waxes (up to about 55 °C) are soft and cling to the container; high-melt waxes are hard, release cleanly from the mould and stand on their own as a pillar or figure.
Pouring temperature
The recommended temperature for filling the container or mould, always above the melting point. Stick to it to avoid cracks, bubbles and sinkholes.
Fragrance load
The maximum percentage of fragrance the wax can hold by weight: 1 kg of wax at 8% takes 80 g. Go over it and the candle may sweat oil.
Origin
Plant-based (soy, rapeseed, sunflower, coconut, palm, rice, carnauba), beeswax or mineral (paraffin, microcrystalline, gel). Plant waxes and beeswax are the choice if you want a candle with no petroleum derivatives.
