Deluxe Soy S16
The result of an intense 3-month sampling campaign, our S16 Deluxe Soy wax's development has been assisted by real, everyday candle makers alongside an Australian government approved lab based in Melbourne.
Made from 100% natural, plant based products our S16 Deluxe Soy wax is similar in it's formulation to another popular, yet recently discontinued wax.
The creamy soy finish you will see when using S16 is nothing short of remarkable! Candles produced with S16 Deluxe Soy are ready to be placed on any high-end boutique shelf. S16 Deluxe Soy has an even and calming burn, fantastic container adhesion and great overall performance in regards to scent throw.
This variety, as advertised - is a completely plant based, natural wax.
Containing hydrated soya oil and unique vegetable sourced additive.
S16 Deluxe Soy has been created through the intersection of nature and science.
By hydrogenating a by-product of the soy harvesting process, we’re able to use this thicker and tougher compound to harden and stabilise the natural soy wax resulting in a 100% natural product that performs consistently like any great wax should.
This very scientific and carefully measured process leaves us with a unique wax which features include:
Made entirely from natural products
Gorgeous creamy soy finish
Smooth set after burning
A high fragrance tolerance for a soy wax (6-8%)
Great container adhesion
Anti-shrinking and frosting properties
Fantastic oil absorption resulting in amazing hot and cold scent throw

Consistency
It is widely recognised that performance consistency is the foundation of any great wax. Once your ideal fragrance ratio has been identified through your own testing, the S16 Deluxe Soy will not disappoint. Other waxes on the market tend to morph when the temperature drops, resulting in shrinkage and you'll begin to see frosting on the edges of the jar.
One of the unique traits of this wax is it's amazing appearance even after a single pour.
Anti-Sweat/Anti-Shrink
Another trait unique to All Seasons Wax is the Anti Sweat & Anti Shrink properties which we've worked hard to achieve. The S16 Deluxe Soy is a 100% natural wax product, which has been developed soft enough so that the wax won't shrink in winter - but firm enough that it'll retain its attractive smooth finish.
Candle frosting is also a result of wax shrinking - the unattractive blotches are actually the gap between jar and wax. This blend of wax also is effective at stopping frosting.
Scent throw
While scent-throw is also dictated by the percentage and the strength of difference fragrances, the wax used to make the candle still has a large impact on hot and cold scent throw. Being a purely natural wax the S16 Deluxe Soy has been developed with re-hydrated soya oil as opposed to palm or paraffin waxes, which are common scent proponents in the industry - which results in an amazing hot and cold scent throw.
Fragrance
Through our testing - most fragrance and essential oils work with our S16 Deluxe Soy wax. It would be impossible for us to test every single fragrance's compatibility so what we suggest is trialling to find what works best for you.
The maximum fragrance load we would recommend is 12% but of course this depends on your fragrance, as strength and potency varies between oils.
All comparabible tests indicate that S16 Deluxe Soy has amazing fragrance adoption for a natural wax.
Appearance
The S16 Deluxe Soy's appearance must be seen to be believed. The way we've engineered this wax is to create a luxurious, creamy thick soy with no additional waxes blended together. We used the feedback from our 3 month testing campaign to develop this wax which has exceptional appearance even in cooler, frigid climates.
Shelf Life & Burn Time
Our waxes have all been designed and developed with consistency and stability in mind. Whilst burn time is heavily controlled by the size of the jar and the wick, across the board with All Seasons Wax you can expect consistency.
As this blend of wax is new we can only guarantee +12 month shelf life for candles produced with S16 Deluxe Soy however, from our testing you can expect a stable and attractive shelf life of around 3 years.
