In candles Stearic Acid will improve burning time, opaque appearance,change texture of some waxes, and helps hold fragrance in pillar waxes. Recommended usage is 2-9 tablespoons per pound of wax. Stearic acid can also be used as a candle wax by itself, but only recommended use in containers and requires large wicking.

Vybar 103 is a polymer designed to partially replace Stearic acid. It provides excellent dispersion of color and fragrances, increases hardness and improves the plasticity of waxes. This will clear up mottling in paraffin waxes. Stick to recommended measurement of 1/2 teaspoon per 1 lb of wax. Maximum usage 1 teaspoon per 1 lb of wax. Too much Vybar will have reverse affects and will not "clear" up any mottling of paraffin waxes.

Resin beads absorb up to 30% fragrance oil creating a natural way to freshen up. Works great for use in sachets, air fresheners, vacuum bags, potpourri dishes, tart/aroma burners & many other uses. You can color the beads easily with a liquid dye and fragrant them with any of our fragrances.

White Mineral Oil 200 USP grade. Mineral oil is a common ingredient in baby lotions, cold creams, ointments and cosmetics. It is a lightweight inexpensive oil that is odorless and tasteless. Mineral oil is used in a variety of industrial/mechanical capacities as a non-conductive coolant or thermal fluid in electric components as it does not conduct electricity, while simultaneously functioning to displace air and water. Some examples are in transformers where it is known as transformer oil, and in high voltage switchgear where mineral oil is used as an insulator and as a coolant to disperse switching arcs. The dielectric constant of mineral oil ranges from 2.3 at 50 °C to 2.3 at 200 °C. Electric space heaters sometimes use mineral oil as a heat transfer oil. Because it is noncompressible, mineral oil is used as a hydraulic fluid in hydraulic machinery and vehicles. It is also used as a lubricant and a cutting fluid. Light mineral oil is also used in textile industries and used as a jute batching oil. An often cited limitation of mineral oil is that it is poorly biodegradable. Mineral oil also works as a great wax clean up, especially works great on clean up involving Damar resin. This oil will soak up all the sticky-ness from the damar resin and beeswax. Best suggestion: use to remove encaustic wax off your hands before trying to scrap it all off. Wipe off with paper towels then wash with warm soap & water.
