100% vegetable Stearin
Stearin is often added to paraffin for candles to improve combustion properties. Because of the amount of benefits that the stearin brings, this is definitely recommended.
Adding stearin to paraffin provides:
- Improved combustion properties
- Less dripping
- less smoke
- Candle burns neater
- Candle gets harder and stronger
- Depth of colors get better
- Better to unload from a mold
- Improved shrinkage properties
Normally 10% stearin is added to a paraffin.
15% is recommended for larger block candles such as abbey candles. This will give you a whiter and firmer candle, which is less likely to warp.
