Reddit user Katiedidit was making some art by melting crayons on a canvas in the hot Texas sun. She had a couple of brands on hand and decided to try each on a canvas. Surprisingly, the Roseart barely melted, making you wonder... What's in those things if not paraffin?

Definitely better if you are a parent and your kid accidentally leaves some on the seat of the car on a hot summer day.

This kinda says Roseart's is better, then? I've never heard of the brand, though.

Thanks to a science fair project this spring I can attest that Crayola uses a paraffin base BUT adds other materials that affect the melting and burning qualities of their crayons. I don't know if those are the primary effects or if the additives are included for other purposes.

Roseart uses soy instead of paraffin. Soy is great for long burning candles but you need a soft wax with good strong color dyes to have a good crayon, IMO.
