Cargill NatureWax Flexible Formulations

 

Why NatureWax?

A NatureWax candle offers superior performance from pour to trim. NatureWax's proprietary waxes are specially formulated for high performance and ease-of-use, helping make premium quality candles that have a smooth appearance, long burn times, and a low base odor to better hold scents. All NatureWax products are free of petroleum-based ingredients and ingredients of animal origin, making them a more sustainable choice than using paraffin alone.

Plant-based ingredients

NatureWax products are developed from plant-based feedstocks instead of petroleum-based sources, providing a high quality wax to help achieve your sustainability goals.

Smooth, elegant appearance

Specially formulated for a beautifully smooth appearance, burn after burn. NatureWax has excellent toleration to crystallization and fat bloom for a uniform looking wax and quality look even after multiple burns.

Superior burn time

Get longer burn times at a more consistent rate for long candle life and consistent burn performance.

Exceptional fragrance throw

Neutral base odor and excellent compatibility with natural fragrance oils allows for increased fragrance loading, helping improve both hot and cold scent throw.

Easy to use

Easily blend with paraffin wax or other types of wax to create the perfect candle.
