Our newly formulated Pillar Mould Soy PM7 is a blend of soy, refined beeswax, and paraffin wax – a combination of three different types of wax all with unique properties.

Soy is a natural wax made from soybean oil and is known for its clean burn and eco-friendliness. Beeswax is another natural wax made from bees and refined from colour and the smell of honey to accommodate the addition of fragrance and colour. Paraffin is a petroleum-based wax and is known for its versatility, and ability to hold fragrance.

When blended together, the resulting product would have a mix of all the exceptional properties of each wax – a combination to allow for a clean burn, added durability for preserving its shape, as well as fragrance retention better than pure soy alone. Designed specifically by ASW and our technical lab for the use of pillars, moulds and melts.

This wax is in pellet form.

Some of the unique features of our Pillar Mould Soy PM7 are:

Ideal for melts, pillars and moulds
Shrinkage properties to allow for easier removal from moulds
Wax is robust and smooth to retain and hold it’s shape of any pillar, mould or melt
Durable wax with longer burn time
Anti sweating properties
A higher fragrance tolerance 8-10%^
Great colour retention
