Soy wax candles have a matte, natural appearance compared to other types of wax. When poured, soy wax typically cools to a smooth surface, although slight imperfections such as cracks, bumps, or 'frosting' (think that look when chocolate blooms) may appear, which is normal. Soy wax may also frost over time or develop white, crystalline streaks. This is purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect the performance of the candle. It’s actually a sign of the wax's natural composition and shows that the candle is made of 100% eco-friendly soy wax!
Why choose soy wax?
💜 Soy wax is made from soybeans, a renewable resource. Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, soy wax is biodegradable and a much more environmentally friendly option.
💜 Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin, producing little to no soot. This means fewer indoor air pollutants and a cleaner home environment. It also helps preserve the longevity of your furniture, walls, and ceilings from staining caused by soot.
💜 Soy wax has a lower melting point than traditional paraffin wax, which means it burns more slowly. Soy wax candles typically last longer, allowing you to enjoy the fragrance and ambiance for a greater amount of time.
💜 Soy wax is free from harmful chemicals, unlike some paraffin candles that can release potentially hazardous substances when burned. This makes soy candles a safer choice for homes with pets, children, or those with respiratory concerns.
💜 Soy wax is produced from soybeans, a crop grown by farmers worldwide. By purchasing soy wax candles, you're supporting agriculture and the livelihood of farmers, especially those in regions where soy production is a significant industry.
