Caran d'Ache Wax Crayons
Professional-grade wax pastels made by Caran d'Ache in Geneva, Switzerland, where all production has remained since the company's founding in 1915. The Neocolor line, introduced in 1952 as the first purpose-built wax pastel, comes in two versions: Neocolor I (water-resistant) and Neocolor II (water-soluble). Both feature high pigment concentration for strong opacity and coverage.
