Here are some of the soy wax benefits that we have put together for you. Natural soy candles are an off-white colour, have a lower melting point than paraffin wax, which means that normally they come in a container and distribute scents less than paraffin candles, which will definitely cause less headache.
The scent and melting point attributes add extra points to soy candles compared to their paraffin companions. While there are small differences in the soot production, soy wax is still considered to be the superior one.
If you are sensitive to strong smells, it is, of course, possible to find unscented soy candles. This might be the best option for you. But as we already mentioned, soy wax gives out quite a subtle scent even when fragranced, so you do not have to be worried about headaches from soy candles.

Frequently asked questions about soy candles
How to make the perfect soy candle?
If you’re up for a soy candles DIY project that will help make your home cosy and luxurious, you can try to make one of these beautiful soy candles for yourself. Here is a little step by step on how to make soy candles.
You will need a couple of ingredients, like soy wax that you can get through a wholesale, then a carefully chosen container for your soy candle. With this, remember that soy wax has a lower melting point than regular paraffin wax, so you want a container that will keep all the wax intact. Plus, you want a container that will perfectly balance out with your home decor.
The rest of the process is pretty standard. You melt the wax, add any fragrance if you choose to do so, place the wick in the middle of the container and secure to make sure it stays in place, pour wax and let it harden overnight. You can add flowers or different kinds of decorations into the wax while still liquid, just make sure those are placed further enough from the wick.
Pouring the soy wax into smaller containers, you can make soy candles tea lights, which are great for evening garden parties or romantic dinners.
Are soy wax candles toxic?
You will come across many opinions on this topic. Some say that the difference between paraffin wax and soy wax used in organic soy candles is not that significant.
However, buying an organic soy candle is beneficial for several reasons. First of all, soy wax is made out of soybeans, which is a natural and non-chemical alternative of paraffin wax, that will protect your health.
Moreover, if you pay attention to the brand you’re choosing, many are supporting soybean farms, and so you not only do something beneficial for yourself, but you will be doing a little altruism for the others too.
And clearly, unlike other wax types like beeswax or even paraffin, that use animal products in production, soy candles are 100% vegan, so perfect for your sustainable lifestyle.
