TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage 100% Soy Candle Wax
Premium 100% Soy Candle Wax – High Performing Container Wax – Paraffin Free – Excellent Hot and Cold Throw
The newest 100% soy wax to beat out GoldenWax 464 and Nature Wax C3, please welcome TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage. This wax is above and beyond when it comes to soy wax performance. If you want 100% soy with no paraffin, but you want as close to a paraffin experience as you can get, Natural Soy Advantage is the way to go.
Key improvements over other soy brands:
- Better glass adhesion
- Less frosting- smoother tops
- Incredible hot and cold throw for all soy
Natural Soy Advantage was created specifically to out perform GoldenWax 464. Using 100% soy wax has its tricks and its learning curve. Traditionally 100% soy waxes are much harder to use than paraffin based waxes, including common issues of frosting (uneven tops), pulling away from the glass and insufficient hot throw. Natural Soy Advantage is an all soy wax boosted with 100% soy additives to eliminate all of those issues.
If you are new to candle making and want 100% soy, Natural Soy Advantage is our recommendation. If you have been using GoldenWax but want to get away from all the extra work, try Natural Soy Advantage today.
For a limited time we are offering 1 pound sizes for you to test. This will show the ease of use for the TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage.
Benefits to switching to TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage:
- Better hot and cold throw- the #1 complaint of all soy candle waxes
- Paraffin free formula but paraffin-like performance
- Reduced or completely eliminated frosting
- Excellent adhesion to container walls so bring on that clear glass!
- Smooth, shiny finish in a single pour
- Handles 10% fragrance load like a charm
- Ideal alternative to GoldenWax and Nature Wax brands
Which wicks work best with TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage?
LX, CD, and HTP wicks are ideal with TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage. Pre-wicking is suggested as the disruption of wicking after cooling can disturb crystal formation.
How to make candles using TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage?
- Melt wax to 175°F-185°F. If you heat and keep at 200° or higher for any extended amount of time you can scorch the wax and it will start turning cream/brown in color. This wax has a lower melt point so only heat it enough to homogenize the wax; you do not have to overheat it.
- Stir melting wax frequently and in a W shape to evenly distribute heat
- Cool the melted wax down to 165°-185°F or below to add fragrance/essential oil/dyes. If you add the fragrance/essential oil when the wax is too hot you will just start burning off your scent. The more you can allow it to cool before adding the scent/essential oil, the better your finished candle will smell. Stir well to allow the scent/essential oil/dye to completely blend in. I suggest a couple of minutes to ensure good dispersion. You can add 5-10% scent/essential oil. You will have to determine the desired amount based upon your scent/essential oil and how strong you want your candle to smell.
- Allow the melted wax to cool to between 130° to 140°F before pouring into your containers. Remember, this will start to congeal at 127°F so make sure you leave yourself enough time to pour all your candles when you are cooling it down. The lower the pour temp, the better the aesthetics of the finished product.
- Allow the finished candle to stand for 72 hours before using.
How much fragrance can I use with TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage?
TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage will easily handle a 10% fragrance load but you could go as low as 6%. Always weigh your fragrance and wax; never go by drops or teaspoons.
1 pound of wax would get:
0.96oz by weight of fragrance for a 6% load
1.6oz by weight of fragrance for a 1% load
Storage: Keep in enclosed box.
Best Used By: Only because you have to list an expiration date (three years) but I have had candle waxes for years and years and still use them and they perform just fine.
How is TitanWax Natural Soy Advantaged packaged?
TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage comes in BOTH pastille and slab form. Don’t be intimated by the slabs! Natural Soy Advantage breaks easily so just smack it against a hard surface and you’ll have chunks instead of slabs. The TitanWax Natural Soy Advantage from Shay and Company comes packaged in:

Below are answers to some of the common questions I get about our candle waxes.
I also have the same question when it comes to companies marketing “virgin” coconut waxes for candles, and if our coconut waxes are “virgin”. Virgin indicates that it is the very first press of the fruit/nut and that it is not refined after that point. All oils used in candles waxes HAVE to be refined, or they won’t burn in a candle. Organic extra virgin coconut oil is what we use for cooking and baking; it has that great coconut smell and almost fleshy texture. Candle waxes are not virgin. Not any of the oil used in candle waxes could be virgin unless you are specifically using food grade virgin coconut oil and adding a large amount of other hardening agents to it (soy, palm, beeswax, paraffin). Virgin coconut will become a liquid at 76 degrees, which would make your candles soup sitting on the shelves in the store. I know there are companies out there marketing “virgin” coconut wax. My caution is just to be very careful about marketing around candle supplies as it is not regulated like the skincare industry. Candles are not intended for internal consumption, or for application to the skin, even though massage candles are used on the skin. This means that they don’t fall under the same regulatory rules as skincare, so ingredients are not required nor monitored.
Paraffin wax- I have worked very hard to cultivate a high integrity line of products, including the various candle waxes we carry. We continued to put pressure on the coconut/soy/apricot blends until they made one without paraffin. Titan 5470 met that standard and it is a beautiful wax, easy to work with, and great cold and hot throw.
We have also introduced a few paraffin blends, manufactured by a company that works to offset the carbons. Paraffin waxes have come back into popularity because soy waxes just will never put off the hot throw like paraffin does. It is important to know the intention behind your product, then to create it based on that intention. If your intention is solely to have the biggest hot throw, then paraffin is where it is at. If your intention is to have a purely plant-based candle, then soy or coconut is where it is at. If you want to have a high quality, lovely candle that encompasses a great hot throw and utilizes plants, then a parablend is where it is at.
We here at Shay and Company have worked very hard to have the highest quality ingredients, US sourced in possible, organic if possible, sustainable if possible, and good for you and your customers.
Hot throw- I have a lot of customers ask about increasing the heat throw on their candles. Natural candles (soy, coconut, palm and beeswax based), that don’t contain paraffin can burn differently, and sometimes softer, than candles that are made with paraffin. This is not a bad thing; it just means you get to play around a little with the natural waxes and your scents to make your candle. I have had several customers add Coconut 1 (pure coconut wax) to our other waxes (any will work). The addition of the coconut seems to help boost the scent throw. The other option is to add stearic acid to the candle. I have heard of them adding up to 10% to the base to increase the hardness of the candle and increase the scent throw.
