The main benefit of soy wax is that it’s derived from soybean oil. It is a renewable, eco-friendly alternative to paraffin wax. Because natural waxes have little impact on our environment, finished candles made from this type of wax can be marketed as a natural product.  Soy wax has a luxurious natural creamy colour and is less likely to soot than a paraffin candle if wicking is not quite right. The negatives for this wax is that the scent throw is not quite as strong as in paraffin, and wicking can be difficult in larger containers.

Soy wax is 100% renewable and biodegradable with a clean slow burn.

What is a soy wax candle?

Soy wax candles are candles made from soybean wax, rather than traditional paraffin. Most soy candles and waxes are an all-natural, cruelty-free and vegan option, making them an excellent choice for those looking to make eco-friendly candles.

Are soy wax candles vegan?

Yes, soy wax is vegan! It’s derived from soybeans, making it a natural vegan and renewable product, so any candles made from soy wax are also vegan and eco-friendly.

How long do soy wax candles burn?

Exact burning times for candles or wax melts depend on the volume of wax used and the size of the product. However, as a general rule, soy wax can burn up to 50% longer than traditional paraffin wax, as it has a lower melting point. This means soy candles can burn for twice as long as traditional candles!
