Paraffin Candle Wax

Paraffin wax is a petroleum-derived wax that's the most commonly used in candle making. It's known for its excellent scent throw and ability to hold color well. Paraffin wax comes in various melting points suitable for different types of candles, like pillars or containers. It's typically less expensive than natural waxes and is preferred for its versatility. However, it's often criticized for being a non-renewable resource and its potential health implications due to the release of toxins when burned.
