Frequently asked questions.
1. What are soy wax candles made from?
Our soy wax candles are made from 100% natural soybeans. This vegetable-based wax is biodegradable, renewable, and eco-friendly, offering a cleaner and more sustainable option compared to traditional paraffin candles.
2. Are soy wax candles better for the environment?
Yes! Soy wax is a renewable resource derived from soybeans, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative to paraffin, which is derived from petroleum. Soy candles also burn cleaner and produce less soot, helping to improve air quality in your home.
3. Do soy wax candles burn longer than paraffin candles?
Soy wax candles typically burn slower than paraffin candles, giving you a longer-lasting burn. This is because soy wax has a lower melting point, which allows the candle to burn at a cooler temperature, offering more hours of enjoyment.
4. Why do my soy candles have a frosted appearance?
Frosting is a natural characteristic of soy wax and occurs when the wax cools and crystallises. It’s a sign of pure, natural soy and doesn’t affect the quality, scent, or burn of the candle.
5. Are soy candles safe for people with allergies or sensitivities?
Soy wax is non-toxic and produces very little soot when burned, making it a great option for people with allergies, sensitivities, or asthma. We also offer unscented varieties for those who prefer a fragrance-free option.
6. How should I care for my soy candle to get the best burn?
For optimal burn, make sure to trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each use. Allow the candle to burn long enough so that the entire surface melts evenly. This will prevent tunneling and ensure a longer, cleaner burn.
7. Are soy wax candles vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes! Our soy candles are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. They contain no animal products or by-products, and we do not test any of our products on animals.
