Cold throw is good but not hard enough wax for candle bouquets. Works fine for wax melts that aren't intricate.
Perfect wax melts and I’m a beginner
Great price & free shipping!
Its very easy to use and melts turn out great everytime.
Best ever!
You have to work quickly with this wax in my experience but it is amazing. Beautiful finish and the smells amazing both CT/HT. Perfect for making wax melts and wax in molds. Quick release in molds.
I've been exclusively purchasing my wax and various other wax melt supplies from here for at least the last year, and I have never been more happy with the service. Great quality and fast shipping!
Let me just say that I love the results. It's exactly as described. I'm impressed with the HT/CT. No need for a heat gun it leaves the wax melts looking nice and smooth. I followed the directions you had for this wax super easy! Will continue to get more.
Love the ht/ct. Holds the fragrance very good and adding colors they are more vibrant.
I absolutely love this wax!! So very easy to use, and my wax melts come out perfect!!
Love this wax for wax melts ! Works wonderfully
No complaints! Easy to use.
Holds fragrance well and gives a lovely HT and CT! Very smooth tops and pops out easily from the clamshells which I also got from Midwest. I will continue to order
I love this wax for my melts!
This is my first time creating wax melts and I am so happy how they turned out! Smooth surface, lovely HT and CT and they pop out beautifully from the clamshells!
It produces a great cold and hot throw. For me, however, I had issues with it being really brittle and breaking the melts inside the clamshell. I actually decided to take them all out of the clamshells and use them as samples to go inside orders. Worked out well.
LOVING my scents!!! Can’t wait to get more!!
Like others, my source for this wax was out of stock..I had been notified of Midwest Fragrance co when another candle make suggested their bread scent..so I bought both the wax and the artisan bread scent..both are amazing and the free shipping on 50 pound boxes save my little company lots of money..I have purchased 4-50 pound boxes since then..good stuff
494 Soy Wax is my preferred wax and after my original supplier was sold out, I found this shop! So glad I did because it will remain my number one going forward. Much faster delivery at a better price!
Muy buena cera de molde, absorbe muy rápido la fragancia....
Looking forward to using
Yep. I can't compare this to anything else because I loved it from the start. Yes, it can frost. But it performs fantastically and comes in flakes.
untested but excited
I love 494! it is the only wax I have liked! the throws are great and it burns great!
Omg!!! I love it!! My customers love my melts. I recently added clamshells to my line and I can't keep them in stock!! Thank you for such an awesome product,
I absolutely LOVE this wax!! The wax melts smoothly, releasing a rich aroma that effortlessly fills the room. The CT and HT are amazing! This is my second time ordering this wax and will be ordering more!!
Works great for my wax melts
CT is hit or miss with some scents, but HT is amazing. My favorite melt wax!
Love this tart wax . Great scent retention, pops right out of the clam shell . I mix it with MB150 - perfect combo ..
This wax is wonderful and so easy to work with when making wax melts. I couldn’t recommend it more! The cold throw and hot throw blew my mind away. Everyone loves it.

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you! For candles, we recommend adding your fragrance to the melted wax when it’s at the correct temperature (usually around 185°F, but check your wax’s specs). Mix well, pour, and let the magic happen. For soap-making, our oils are perfect for melt-and-pour, cold process, or hot process soaps. Always follow recommended usage rates and do a small test batch to ensure everything works beautifully. Need more tips? Check out our resources—we love helping makers like you!
The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always checkIFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
