Soy Wax Candles
- Soy wax is made from hydrogenated soybean oil, it is a renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly and non-toxicre source that is an alternative to paraffin wax. Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin, so soy candles burn cooler and slower, which helps prevent burning and sooting.
- Natural soy wax is off-white or ivory in color, so dyes are added to produce colored soy candles. Soy wax blends well with essential oils and fragrances. Container candles may burn for 15-25 hours while pillars burn 8-12 hours.
- Soy wax is rigid at room temperature so the candles retain their shape well when cooling. The wax can also hold more fragrance oil than paraffin. Drawbacks of soy wax candles include frosting, wet spots, and performance issues in high humidity or extreme temperatures. Proper wicking can help alleviate some problems.
- Soy candle brands advertise their renewable, sustainable nature. Soy candles are widely available online and in natural food and candle shops.
