Compatibility varies by base wax. Higher additions can materially change hardness, melt point, fragrance behaviour and wick requirements, so finished candles should always be burn-tested before sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage \u0026amp; Safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStore tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeep away from children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not ingest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse heat-safe equipment and avoid overheating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Lume \u0026 Co.","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":45227029430472,"sku":"LC-PEW-100G","price":250.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":45227029463240,"sku":"LC-PEW-250G","price":380.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":45227029496008,"sku":"LC-PEW-500G","price":499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":45227029528776,"sku":"LC-PEW-1KG","price":699.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/3814\/6760\/files\/lume-pe-wax-polyethylene-wax-1kg-candle-additive.jpg?v=1790982036","url":"https:\/\/lumeandco.in\/de\/products\/pe-wax-polyethylene-wax-candle-making","provider":"Lume \u0026 Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
