Palm Wax (Stearin)

Natural Vegetable-Based Wax for Hard, Long-Lasting Candles

Palm Wax (Stearin) is a fully hydrogenated, plant-based wax derived from palm oil, widely used in pillar and molded candle production. This hard, opaque wax serves as an excellent structure enhancer, opacifier, and hardener, producing candles with a smooth, frosted, or crystalline finish depending on the cooling process and mold conditions.

Perfect for creating firm, freestanding candles or blending with softer waxes like soy and coconut to improve durability, burn time, and mold release.
