Crayola® Crayons are made using primarily paraffin wax and color pigment. While the basic ingredients remain consistent across all colors, variations may occur in special effects crayons.
Our crayons are crafted through a process that involves melting paraffin wax and blending it with color pigments. This mixture is then poured into molding machines where it solidifies in four to seven minutes. For a behind-the-scenes look at the Crayola crayon manufacturing process, watch the video "You've Got Crayola Crayons" on YouTube.
