Golden Wax S41 is a super-soft Soy Wax manufactured by AAK in Sweden, which has been specially developed for making Glass Candle Jars and other container candles. The wax was originally created for professional and large-scale candle manufacturers, which is why its strengths include stable performance, a wide range of shades, and excellent fragrance diffusion.
S41 is made from 100% natural and responsibly sourced soy and contains no GMOs, synthetic additives, or toxic substances. The manufacturer, AAK, places great emphasis on sustainable raw materials and responsible production.

Cure time
For best results, let the finished candle harden at room temperature for at least 2 days.
To achieve the full scent release, it is recommended to let the candle cure for 7–14 days.
This is particularly important for the S41, as the aroma continues to develop after brewing.
Frosting and Polymorphism
As with many natural Soy Waxes, Golden Wax S41 may exhibit polymorphism, which manifests as surface frosting, crystallization, or mottling. This is particularly likely to occur during repeated remelting or when recasting a candle. This phenomenon can be minimized by:
- by monitoring the cooking temperature
- with slow and even cooling
- avoiding large temperature fluctuations
- by using the appropriate wax blend
In manufacturing practice, S41 is sometimes mixed with 30–50% mineral wax to reduce frosting and improve surface stability. S41 also mixes well with CS1 wax, which is used in professional candle making.
Important to know
Golden Wax S41 is a very soft container wax, which is why it is not suitable on its own for making molded or pillar candles.
For best results, always test a specific combination of S41 + fragrance oil + wick + color + Glass Candle Jars.
