If you were at the World Candle Congress in Orlando, FL, we hope you had a great time and learned something new and inspiring! If you didn’t visit with us there, we’re happy to share what we featured at the show. Koster Keunen has been in the business of wax for candles from our founding, and we have never stopped innovating.
Elegant Solutions with Wax Blends
Candles are deceptively simple. The wax, the wicks, and the fragrance ideally appear to have always coexisted, but among candlemakers, the subtleties of stability, color, and fragrance throw require careful formulation with an eye to production scaling.
Our wax blends are formulated by Koster Keunen’s in-house chemists who understand the subtleties of manufacturing wax-based products. Vegetable Candle Blend #210 is soy-based and available in pastilles. It is a white wax blend, so added colors stay true. If you prefer to work with slab waxes, our Coconut Candle Blend #865 is a white wax that comes in slab form.
Wax blending can be very specific to your brand’s product range, so Koster Keunen also offers custom wax blending. If your candles require specificity that will brook no compromise, our wax experts are available to work with you to produce the blend that best meets your brand’s requirements.
The Charm of Light and Warmth
Candles soften visual environments and cast a pleasant glow. They also add scent, whether from the component wax or from added fragrance. If you are choosing Beeswax for your candle making, Koster Keunen has just what you need. Koster Keunen’s earliest production wax, Beeswax, was mostly used for making candles.
We understand both the attractiveness and the chemistry that make Beeswax an essential ingredient for many chandlers. While we offer our signature wax in a variety of colors, you have more choices available for your range. We also support specific goals with options for sustainably-sourced Beeswax and even certified USDA Organic Beeswax.
Whether your candles create drama or cozy ambiance, we are here to help you light the way. Koster Keunen’s wax chemists are on hand to help you select a blend from our current options or to help you create a custom combination of waxes with the just-right properties.
