Microcrystalline wax is an excellent choice for making candles in jars and bowls because of its unique properties and advantages. When making jar candles, microcrystalline wax is usually mixed with kerosene, palm and soy wax to improve candle performance. It offers flexibility, allowing the candle to keep its shape even when exposed to different temperatures. It has a high ability to hold scents, making it an excellent choice for scented candles. Microcrystalline wax exhibits excellent stability both during the candle-making process and during candle use.
