Paraffin is a blend of waxes that is used to form a candle and that provides fuel for the candle as it burns. Paraffin is one of the most plentiful and commonly used waxes today. It can also be found in a wide array of products from lipsticks to eye makeup to baby products. In household products, we use paraffin as a film former to create a protective coating or shine on a surface.

Octabenzone is a stabilizer that can also be found in polymers, paints, and coatings. We use it in our products as a light (UV) stabilizer that helps prevent fading and maintain the color of a product when it is exposed to light over time.

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a stabilizer that can also be found in cosmetics and moisturizers. It acts as an antioxidant – we use it to help maintain the properties and performance of a product as it is exposed to air. European and U.S. regulators have approved BHT for use in food. Some concerns have been raised over its use as a food additive, however our products containing BHT are not intended for ingestion, so we feel that its use is acceptable.

Siloxane Polyalkleneoxide is a stabilizer that can also be found in textile processing. It helps reduce the surface tension of a formula to help it spread more evenly. When used in a wax product like a candle, it helps prevent warping or cracking of the wax.
