THIS, it frustrates me to no end just how many "candle makers" know absolutely nothing about the origins of their own wax. I've had so many conversations with seasoned candle makers who have been doing this for many years, who say nonsense like "I use natural eco friendly soy wax, I don't use paraffin because it's toxic/burns dirty" It's just pure ignorance. Soy wax Is not natural, it's a massively intensive system that uses petrochemicals to produce, and the SCIENCE shows time and time again that if you properly wick an unfragranced soy or paraffin candle, they produce no more emissions than each other. But these people don't read science, they read blog posts, those blog posts got their information from propaganda of the plant wax industry. The only thing I would say about Paraffin is that it's not a renewable resource. But I still use 15-20% in my custom wax blend because it massively improves the performance and stability of candles. There is just so much misinformation and straight up lies in the wax industry and it's really muddied the waters for information and ultimately even the most innocent candlemakers end up peddling nonsense.

Isn't Hexane supposed to rapidly evaporate once it touches air?

@@poisxe Does it matter. Everyone sells Soy because they like to say its eco friendly and that Parafin is bad because it uses the petrochemical industry. Well Soy does as well in the processing to make soy wax.

I have honestly never heard of that wax before but I am looking it up now! Learning so much as I go, I can't wait to publish the next videos!

So glad someone agrees with me!! The more I study the more discrepancies I find - maybe the wax affects the overall impact a little bit but it has SO much more to do with the wick and the fragrance!

@@BurnworthyCandleCo. totally agree. Also, one of the founders of soy wax said himself that the soy wax industry villainized paraffin wax in their marketing efforts and it stuck. 😜

But it is toxic. I am reading multiple studies on it now.

Hey! Thanks so much for watching this video. I am sorry to hear that but I am always thankful for constructive critiques! My personal email is waxnwix10@gmail.com. If you wouldn't mind sharing, I would love to hear which specific issues you are talking about so I could get them worked out! Thanks again🫶

Thank you so much! These are all great questions! The short answer is my dad is a business owner and he has helped me a lot through this process. He got connected with the original owner of this business when she was looking for a seller and he was with me in every meeting I had with her. As far as strategy goes we were able to assess the business as she was doing it part time and figure out that if I treated it like a full time job, at least for a few months going to markets etc., it could do a lot more than it was doing! There are different ways we implemented that strategy but the biggest one was just getting my products in front of people. Strategy depends a lot on what kind of business you're operating though so there isn't a lot of insight I could offer. I think having a good advisor is key and that is the best advice I have! I will likely share more as I keep learning but I don't feel confident until I have done more myself. I really appreciate your interest!

Thank you so very much, living the great commission is my joy! It's a daily battle but so worth it!

I'm so glad this was helpful! He's the single thing that has completely changed my perspective. Every day may not be the best but through Him there is so much joy!!

Hoping to release more soon! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I owe it all to Him❤
