Step 5. Comparison of hardening time (after 1 hour)

The red of Ecosoya CB and the yellow of Golden Brands Wax stand out, while Nature Wax hardens to the brightest ivory

spec
Step 6. Comparison of hardening time (after 3 hours)

Golden Brands Wax and Nature Wax harden to a elephanttooth color, the red color is still visible in Ecosoya CB

Point.3 Wax-up comparison

Ecosoya CB-Advanced Wax Golden Brands 464 C-3 Nature Wax

Light ivory bead typeIt is oily, moist and crumbles lightly when touched

Delicate flakes, the texture is moist and soft, with a greasy feel, so the stickiness between the flakes is very good, you can feel the greasy feel when you touch it, and it will soften when pressed

It is a matte white flake, almost non-greasy, the driest to the touch, and has a crunchy feel

Point.6 Combustion comparison (odor diffusion and internal shrinkage/burning for 3 hours)

Ecosoya CB-Advanced Wax

Although there is almost no fragrance on the surface, the fermentation level is excellent when burned.During combustion, small bubbles may rise from withinBurns cleanly without soot, hardens most smoothly and stably after burning, and makes the wax surface redder in color


Golden Brands 464

The surface smell is weak, and it has excellent aroma spreading power when burning.It burns cleanly with no soot


C-3 Nature Wax

It emits a strong fragrance on the surface, and its ability to emit fragrance when burned is relatively weak compared to emitting fragrance on the surface.Candle wax hardens and has a very soft texture, so it's perfect for use as a massage candleIt burns very cleanly with no soot. It burns relatively slowly. At the same time, you can see a slight residual wax on the edge of the container when burning.
