Wax Additives
This page has the four most popular paraffin waxes. The blended wax needs no other additives just mix in scent and dye if required then pour to make excellent pillar, tealight, and votive candles. The unblended wax is perfect for all your candle making as you can add your own additives to make up your own wax 'formula'. There is also Candle Shack container waxes for quality glass and container candles.

Paraffin waxes are complex mixtures of many substances. They mainly consist of saturated hydrocarbons. These crude oil derivatives are purified and refined by modern, environmentally friendly technology (e. g. high pressure hydrogenation). Our paraffin wax is free of harmful substances. All highly refined products are constantly monitored by a stringent quality control and are non-toxic. Their environmental properties are characterised by good biodegradability and non-cumulative effects".
