SOY What?

Do you always choose soy wax candles but not sure why?

You may have heard they are “better for you” or “they are a more sustainable choice”.

Both of these things are correct, so if you’re looking for a clean burning candle, that provides relaxation and is sustainable, then read on and discover why Soy Wax Candles are perfect for you.

Benefits of Soy Wax Candles

1. Eco-Friendly
   Soy wax is derived from soybeans. Being biodegradable, they do not contribute to the depletion of our planet's resources and by choosing soy candles, you're making a small but meaningful step towards a more sustainable future.

2. Clean Burning
   One of the most significant benefits of soy wax candles is their clean burn. They do not release harmful toxins and produce minimal to no soot when burned. This means you can enjoy your candlelit moments without worrying about indoor air pollution.

3. Longer Burn Time
   Soy wax candles have a longer burn time compared to traditional paraffin candles. This means you'll get more hours of relaxation and you time!

4. Scent Retention
   Soy wax has a natural ability to retain fragrances, which means the scents in soy candles are released slowly and evenly. This results in a more aromatic and enjoyable experience, without the overpowering initial burst of fragrance you might get with other candle types.

Whilst Soy Wax is absolutely our preferred choice, it cannot create magic on its own… there are a few simple care instructions that we highly recommend you follow to ensure the longevity of your candle.
