NS-55 Wax (Coco-Soy Blend)

Notes from the sources

• Natural State says you can pour cooler than 180-190°F if you prefer.1
• Natural State says NS-55 needs no more than a 24 hour cure.1
• Natural State says its own testing found the Ultimate wood wick works best for wood, and the HPSP, LX and CDN cotton wicks work best for cotton. It gives no wick sizes and no jar sizes.1
• Natural State publishes no wick chart for NS-55. Its wick page says it does not recommend wood wick sizes and tells makers to test. It sells the Ultimate wood wick in .02 and .03 thick by .5, .625 and .75 wide.32
• Natural State's general rule for its own fragrance oils is 6-10% by weight of the wax. That is not an NS-55 rule; the page for NS-55 says only that 12% is the most the wax holds.41
• Natural State's NS-55 page shows 94 customer reviews (all read on 2026-11-08 through the review feed the page itself loads). These are reviews the seller shows, and most praise tops, throw and the 24 hour cure. Eleven reviewers mention wicks and none gives a wick size. The two that name a wick type and a named jar are listed below as one maker's report each.1
• Three more reviewers name a wick type but no wick size or jar size: wood wicks work well in hydrostone vessels (Christina, 2025-09-10) and in clear jars (MaryHall, 2025-05-19), and LX cotton wicks worked well (Dontay Brady, 2025-04-07). Each is one maker's word, not a tested size.121311
• Makesy lists the 12 oz Aura jar at 3.40 in inside diameter and 3.75 in widest, and the 8 oz Aura jar at 2.87 in inside diameter and 2.98 in widest. The 3.5 in on the 12 oz rows below is the Ark & Dove maker's own figure.87
• Natural State lists Makesy Virgin Coconut Soy on the same NS55 wax shelf as NS-55. Neither page says the two waxes are the same, so they are kept as separate guides.5
• Natural State's safety data sheet for NS55 Wax (issued 2025-03-29) gives the melt point as 118-132 degrees, where the product page says 130. It calls the wax natural coconut soy and does not list the under 5% paraffin the product page names. It gives no wick advice.6
• Tip from Ark & Dove Candle Co.: when you test a new jar, also test a Whisper Booster wick one size up and one size down from the Ultimate size. Let your burn results tell you which way to go.19
