What's the white stuff on my soy candle?

Sometimes you may find a white frosting-like appearance on the outside of a soy wax candle. This frosting is a natural characteristic of soy wax and not a defect in the candle. It does not affect the quality of the candle or it's burn. In my opinion, it makes a candle unique. Some candle makers purchase additives to give their candles this crystallized, frosted look.
