Candle Wax Update



Our website reflects the most recent IGI Wax increase. All waxes experienced a price increase.

I have elected to discontinue 2 IGI Waxes. Both have been placed on sale to facilitate movement. They are:

IGI 1260
IGI 4794

Recommended replacements for these waxes:

IGI 4794 -> IGI 4641 or 4625
IGI 1260 -> IGI 4625 (add stearic for higher melt point)

With regard to soy wax prices, the price is very unstable due to the recent rains and flooding. If farmers choose to replant lost corn crops, soy prices will likely go up. If the farmers decide to not replant corn and to plant extra soy crops, the price of soy wax will go likely go down. I am told that there will be a public announcement with the farmers plans on June 30th. I will update you as I am updated.

I heard a report on the news yesterday that this years soy crop was much better than anticipated. Maybe that will have an impact on pricing...

I am so sorry you discontinued IGI™ Wax 4794 it was the perfect wax for tarts - the replacement wax that uses the pellets is not working out at all for me or for my customers. It is hard to work with and does not give the scent throw I was accustomed to. Any suggestions ?
