The Phytowax candle waxes are the culmination of 12 years of research, testing and product improvement. We created the very first soy waxes anywhere in the world. We have dedicated the time, expense and effort to develop the best.
We get comments from many Village Chandlers that have tested all of the soy waxes and vegetable waxes presently on the market. The overwelming report from many Chandlers is that Phytowax performs the best by a huge margin. Each Village Chandler is encouraged to test all other waxes and reach your own conclusion on wax performance and ease of use. Phytowax is easy to use and produces exceptional candles.
One question that does come up often is about the soybean oil content of Phytowax blends. The very high majority percentage of all Phytowax products is soybean oil (85%). We blend in small minority additives of other vegetable oils to achieve better performance characteristics for a smooth and even wax surface, strong fragrance throw, color blend and in the case of the votive wax, ease of mold release. It is much more important to us to have the very best wax performance rather than 100% soy content. Phytowax products are 100% vegetable with no chemicals, animal fat or petroleum additives.
It is important to note that very few high quality consumer and industrial products are 100% of any one ingredient. Manufacturing is the process of combining materials and processes to achieve products that are superior to what can be derived from direct extraction from nature. Human beings are an integral part of nature's ecology. Beeswax is the product of insect ecology. Phytowax is a product of human ecology. Both are natural products, as they derive from materials that are present in nature.
For soy content comparison, soy diesel fuel as it is presently marketed is 2% to 20% soy. Soy inks are in the 30% to 40% range. Phytowax has very high soy content when compared to these other soy products. Our goal with Phytowax is to have a very high percentage of soy content --and more importantly to provide our customers with 100% product satisfaction.
