Why Soy Wax is the Best Choice for Your Homemade Candles

If you love your artisanal candles, you probably know that not all candles are created equal. The type of wax used in a candle can make a big difference in how it burns, smells, and looks. In this blog post, we will explain why soy wax is the best choice for your candles, and why we use it exclusively in our homemade soy tin candles.

What is soy wax?

Soy wax is a natural wax made from soybeans, a renewable and biodegradable resource. Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, soy wax does not release harmful toxins or pollutants into the air when burned. Soy wax also has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, which means it burns slower and cooler, resulting in longer-lasting candles.

What are the benefits of soy wax?

Soy wax has many benefits that make it superior to other types of wax, such as:

• Clean burning: Soy wax produces a clean and even flame, with minimal soot or smoke. This means you can enjoy your candles without worrying about staining your walls, furniture, or lungs.
• Great scent throw: Soy wax has excellent scent retention and distribution, allowing you to enjoy the full aroma of your scented candle. Whether you prefer subtle or strong fragrances, soy wax can deliver the desired effect.
• Eco-friendly: Soy wax is environmentally friendly, as it is made from a renewable resource and is biodegradable. It also does not contain any animal products, making it vegan-friendly as well.
• Easy to clean: Soy wax is easy to clean, as it can be removed with soap and water. This makes it convenient to reuse or recycle your candle containers, or to fix any spills or mistakes.
