Joe’s Wax was created in March 2020 soon after the Coronavirus shutdown of schools. Joe’s mother, Laura, watched a video by an EC (Exceptional Children’s) teacher on how to make soy wax candles realizing the visual step-by-step process might be a good afternoon activity for her son, who is on the autism spectrum. After ordering a kit online, they enjoyed learning how to make 8-ounce candles in tins and what ratio of wax to fragrance works best at what temperature.
