Soy wax has many environmental and health benefits, which is why we choose to use it in our candles!

Here are some of the main benefits for choosing soy wax candles...

• Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soybeans. It is natural and a renewable source unlike candles made from Paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum and relies in our dwindling supply of crude oil.
• Soy wax burns on average 40-50% slower than paraffin wax, resulting in long-lasting candles and giving you better value for money but also means less risk of severe burns should you accidentally spill any melted wax on your skin.
• Soy wax is biodegradable and washes away with warm soapy water. Good for accidental spillage and making it easy to repurpose your vessel once the candle has burned away.
• Soy wax is clean burning and doesn't release toxins, carcinogens or pollutants which means it's less likely to trigger allergies.
• Soy wax won't release petrol-carbon soot like you get from paraffin candles meaning no oily black marks on your walls. Keeping the wick trimmed short will also ensure that the candle doesn't smoke.
