Hello,
Most people use a container wax. The AP30 is most commonly used, it is a paraffin/soy blend. We use the AS10, a 100% soywax for our Swans Scented Tarts.
You can find our candle waxes here on our website: http://swanscandles.com/store/soy_blends_natural_waxes.html

   Ok thank you so very much for your information,Is the wax you use make your tarts medium in texture?I have been trying to get my business going I make the scented tarts and I have been doing it almost a full year or more and still have not found the wax for me .
  This wax I have now is almost 50lbs it makes them so hard and no scent.So I will be placing a order soon with you and I am looking for the one that is a softer tart .
             Thank you so very much

The soy wax does have a soft-medium texture, you can add a little of the pillar soy wax, (or any other pillar wax) to harden it up. I have tried 3 parts soy container to 1 part soy pillar and it didnt make it too hard but it wasnt too soft for packaging.

Beeswax was also known as a good material for candles. But it for the most part was difficult with which to work. Until the invention of candle molds and stearin in the 1820s, in fact, all candles from beeswax had to be tailored by hand. This was extremely time consuming. Because of this, beeswax candles were found chiefly in churches and monasteries.
