The Wax Lab Core Kit is a candle wax testing kit designed to help candle makers compare different waxes under identical conditions. Instead of guessing which wax works best, this kit provides a structured way to evaluate performance, reduce material waste, and confidently choose the right wax for your candles.
Stop Guessing Your Wax — Start Testing Smarter
If you’ve ever invested in a full case of wax only to realize it wasn’t the right fit, you’re not alone. Many candle makers rely on trial and error—switching between waxes, wicks, and fragrances without a consistent system.
The Wax Lab Core Kit eliminates that uncertainty.
This isn’t just a bundle of wax—it’s a structured testing system designed to help you make informed decisions before committing to bulk purchases.
What’s Included in the Wax Lab Core Kit
- 2 lbs. C3 Soy Wax
- 2 lbs. 464 Soy Wax
- 2.5 lbs. Ultra Wax (80/20 blend)
- 1 lbs. Coconut Wax
Each wax type offers different performance characteristics, allowing you to directly compare results.
How the Testing System Works
To get accurate, repeatable results, you’ll test each wax using the same variables:
- Same vessel
- Same fragrance oil
- Same wick
This controlled setup allows you to isolate the wax itself—so you can clearly see how each one performs.
What You’ll Be Able to Evaluate
- With side-by-side testing, you can compare:
- Hot throw – scent strength when burning
- Cold throw – scent strength when unlit
- Frosting – visual appearance of the wax
- Adhesion (wet spots) – how wax adheres to the container
- Burn performance – melt pool, stability, and consistency
This gives you real data—not guesswork.
Who This Kit Is For
The Wax Lab Core Kit is ideal for:
- New candle makers learning wax behavior
- Small businesses refining product consistency
- Makers comparing wax types before scaling
- Anyone looking to reduce wasted materials
Why This Kit Matters
Most candle makers lose time and money to random testing. This kit changes that by offering:
- A structured testing approach (not just random sampling)
- Reduced risk before bulk purchasing
- More consistent and repeatable results
- A smarter way to develop high-quality candles
- Build Better Candles with Confidence
Choosing the right wax is one of the most important decisions in candle making. The Wax Lab Core Kit gives you the tools to test, compare, and refine your process—so you can create candles that perform exactly the way you want.

Cargill C3 Naturewax (100% Soy) - Cargill C3 soy wax container is 100% soy
wax from CARGILL and by far our most popular due to competitive pricing and
a high-quality product. It's quite resistant to bloom (white frosting) and "wet
spots" while producing an excellent scent throw with fragrances. Our Cargill C3
soy wax container maintains an even burn pool with consistent color retention
and possesses good glass adhesion. It is specifically designed for container
candles, producing an opaque product with a balanced, creamy look.
Shrinkage is minimal when cooling; however, most jars will require touch-ups
with a heat gun or a second pour.
Ultra Wax (Coconut-Soy Blend) - Ultra wax coconut-soy blend is our state of
the art, smooth Coconut Soy Blend. It's ease of use and maximum glass jar
adhesion leaves a smooth finish on the sides of your glass.
Golden Brands 464 Soy Wax - Introducing Golden Brands 464 Soy Wax—the
secret ingredient to elevate your candle crafting experience to new heights!
Our 464 Soy Wax is a premium, natural soy wax blend meticulously crafted to
provide the perfect canvas for your candle creations. Derived from soybeans,
this wax offers a clean and sustainable alternative, ensuring that your candles
burn cleaner and emit minimal soot. What sets this soy wax apart is its
exceptional ability to hold candle fragrances, allowing you to infuse your
candles with captivating scents that linger beautifully in any space.
100% Coconut Wax - Coconut wax is a type of natural wax that is derived from
the meat of coconuts. It is a renewable resource, biodegradable, and ecofriendly.
This candle-making wax is considered a premium wax due to its
unique characteristics such as excellent scent throw, good burn time, and
clean-burning properties. Because of its low melt point, we strongly
recommend you blend this wax with a higher melt point. We use our C3 soy
wax at 80% and this candle wax at 20% and it makes a very impressive candle.
The burn is so clean and the candle fragrance release incredibly strong
especially when you take the fragrance level to 8%. Customers who sell their
candles for a living like using this candle wax in their blends because many
candle consumers like this 100% natural wax in their candles. We believe you
will truly love this wax for blending.
