C3 Europe Soy Wax for Container Candles - Cargill

What are the differences between C3 wax from Europe and USA?

As its name suggests, this C3 soy wax from Europe was manufactured by Cargill in Europe. It is always a preferred choice for making scented container candles, but also here for melts. This is the major difference! Although this is possible with C3 USA, here, no additives are needed to achieve an optimal result.

Its properties guarantee flawless hold thanks to very good adhesion, because the wax from Europe has a greasy finish.

This wax in pellet form is however not suitable for making whipped wax according to our tests. We recommend the C3 from the USA, or the ready-to-use soy wax 4130 for this use.
