Candle wax is the essential ingredient that determines the quality of your creation. Each type of wax has unique properties, so choosing the right wax is an essential step in making successful homemade candles.
At Terre de Bougies, we offer a varied range of waxes to easily bring all your decorative projects to life and satisfy your every creative urge. Waxes such as TDB's vegetable soy wax for poured candles guarantee creations of unrivalled quality.
Our vegetable candle waxes are 100% plant-based, of natural origin and kind to both your health and your home. Thanks to their wholesome composition, they release no black smoke or toxic substances, and none are tested on animals. All our vegetable waxes, made from soy, rapeseed, olive or coconut, are guaranteed free from any trace of GMOs, for authentic, eco-friendly candles.
Our vegetable soy wax for poured candles is ideal thanks to its excellent scent throw and perfect adhesion to the container. Discover also the must-have Kerax 4130 (for containers) and Kerax 4120 (for moulding) waxes, particularly appreciated for their ease of use and flawless finish.
Rapeseed wax offers a remarkable scent throw thanks to a clean burn with no smoke or toxins. Although slightly more technical to work with, it is ideal for coloured creations or those enriched with essential oils, while ensuring a controlled European origin.
What's more, our vegetable waxes have the advantage of burning more slowly, thereby extending the life of your fragrant creations, even if making them requires a little more attention.
Since 2024, we have been delighted to offer innovative coconut waxes. Renowned for their smooth, glossy finish, these premium waxes, such as our coconut/rapeseed wax, bring a truly premium touch to your creations. Please note, however, that this exceptional quality comes at a slightly higher cost.
Beeswax makes it possible to create poured candles and wax melts that are both natural and elegant. Thanks to its high melting point (61°), it burns slowly and finely reproduces every detail of your moulded creations.
Its long burn time guarantees long-term savings, while its pleasant natural scent subtly diffuses its warm notes throughout your home, creating a delicate, soothing atmosphere.
Very easy to use, paraffin is a wax of mineral origin derived from petroleum, prized for its purity, transparency and lack of natural odour. Easy to shape, it allows a regular, gentle and even burn.
Available in solid or gel form, with or without additives, paraffin is ideal for your poured scented candles or your moulded decorative creations. Affordable and economical, it guarantees optimal diffusion of your chosen fragrances, making it a very popular option among beginner and experienced makers alike.
Additives optimise the burn, improve the texture or refine the final result of your candles. Depending on the wax used, their addition may be necessary or simply recommended. For example, with Cargill C3 soy wax, vegetable stearin is essential to ensure a flawless finish for your poured candles.
Thanks to our partnerships with the best manufacturers such as Cargill and Kerax, renowned for the excellence of their waxes, making high-end decorative candles becomes accessible to all. Choosing a wax suited to your project is essential: it is the cornerstone of your creation and will influence the entire rest of the process.
