Rapeseed Wax R-60

In the world of decorative candle making, natural waxes have gained popularity due to their plant origin without chemical or artificial additives.

Among these, high melting point rapeseed wax stands out; an excellent option especially for candles that require molds.

This wax is characterized by its 100% plant origin and its ability to create hard and consistent candles.

Rapeseed wax is obtained from the rapeseed plant, Brassica napus. First, the seeds go through an oil extraction process by crushing and pressing.

Then, this oil undergoes hydrogenation to turn it into a solid wax. Finally, the wax is filtered and purified to obtain a high-quality product.
