Coconut Wax Product Description

Given its tendency to melt at room temperatures, coconut oil is not a wax. Our coconut wax uses use hydrogenated and refined coconut oil. The refining process removes the coconut scent, while hydrogenation increases the melting point substantially from ~75 ºF to ~100 ºF. So with our ‘high-melt’ coconut oil, we’re a step closer to a wax, but still not quite there. The coconut oil is then blended with other natural vegetable waxes to bring up the melting point further to avoid any ‘liquefying’ issues. In summary, Coconut wax is high melt-point coconut oil and other natural waxes blended to achieve a wax that’s solid at room temperature. The inclusion of the coconut oil leads to a wax that burns very evenly compared to others, and from our own tests, more slowly too.
