Personally I use Soy. Good fragrance throw. I use container soy but you can use pilar for melts too. They alst about 3 or 4 candlelight burns aprox 10 hrs each melt. Soy is really easy to clean up too hot soapy water, plus it has much less of a carbon throw than paraffin reputedly 90% less. And its more eco friendly

For anyone starting out can I point you in direction of my for sale on Eco Soy pillar.

I think Kev uses Pillar in his melts.

And, I'm told, soy candles are better for those with asthma also.. I want to try and make some myself (container ones) but I think I'll wait til after Christmas (finances and lack thereof, don't they just suck?).

I have spent some time today searching for soy wax suppliers in Sweden. Only found one (very expensive) and it's for cosmetics.  Shocked
With other words it seems one can't find it in Sweden! I am soooo lost.  Shrug?
Where do you Gals & Pals buy your soy wax, pillar versions?

If I had the energy I ought to buy a bunch and start retailing it. But I don't so I won't.

Oh, and what it is called? I don't get hardly any result when googling soy(a) wax pillar.

I get mine from 4Candles. I've found them to be the cheapest and quick dispatch too.
