I saw some high end candles yesterday that looked and felt like a rough HP soap. Anyone know what type of wax or addtives this may be?
Type of candle wax that looks like Hot Process soap?

Do you have a link or name to google? Without seeing them it's tough to take a rough guess.

No it was at a store and I didn't get the name.

They might have added a very small amount of crystalline wax to a soy blend. I messed up some like that and it was an interesting texture.

I have wax candles that are really soft and have low melt temps but it was hard as a rock though.
I saw that same thing today and they were mia bella or something like that. They were palm wax and supposedly burn without smoke and hold frag very well. They weren't burning at this outdoor market but did smell very good. I was going to post where do you get palm wax from in a post.

Were these candles in a container or a free standing pillar?
The ones I saw were both and they did have a very hp look to them.
It was this company, most are in jars but they have votives and they do look hp like

The votives look like palm wax. Reading the company info, it sounds like a soy and palm wax blend.

YES!!
That is what palm wax looks like. Both kinds of the wax, pillar and container have that crystallized look. I have not yet made any palm wax pillars, but the few containers I have made are lovely with good burning and good scent throw. I was just in the testing phase, but I have palm wax on my list to purchase more when I buy from Candlewic again.
The pillars I have seen other chandlers make are beautiful.
