Are natural soy wax candles healthier than other types of candles?
Yes, natural soy wax candles are healthier for several reasons. First, soy wax is a natural, non-toxic material that burns cleanly, meaning it doesn’t release harmful chemicals into the air. Additionally, we use pure essential oils for fragrance, avoiding synthetic fragrances that can contain harmful chemicals like phthalates. Burning our candles allows you to enjoy a pleasant aroma without compromising your indoor air quality or health.

Why does my soy wax sometimes develop a crystallized or frosty appearance?
Crystallization in soy wax is a natural occurrence due to its unique properties, especially when cooled quickly or stored in colder temperatures. This frosty appearance is actually a sign of high-quality soy wax and does not affect the candle’s performance, scent throw, or burn time. Embrace the unique look of your soy candles, knowing they still offer clean burning and long-lasting scent.

How long do your natural soy wax candles burn?
Our natural soy wax candles are designed to burn longer than traditional candles. The low melting point of soy wax allows it to burn slowly and evenly, providing you with hours of soothing light and natural fragrance. With proper care, you can enjoy the warm glow and gentle scent of our candles for many hours, making them a great value.
-
Why are natural soy wax candles more expensive than other candles?
The higher price of natural soy wax candles reflects the quality of the ingredients and the care taken in their production. Soy wax is a more expensive raw material compared to paraffin, as it is derived from renewable soybeans. Additionally, we use pure essential oils instead of synthetic fragrances, which are more costly to source but provide a cleaner, healthier burn. The craftsmanship involved in creating a high-quality, eco-friendly candle also adds to the cost. However, the investment in natural candles is worth it for those seeking a healthier, more sustainable option that burns cleaner and longer.

Why are your candles made with natural soy wax and essential oils?
We believe in creating products that are not only beautiful and fragrant but also healthy and eco-friendly. Our candles are made with 100% non-GMO soy wax and pure essential oils to ensure that you are burning a clean, non-toxic candle in your home. Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum and can release harmful chemicals when burned, soy wax is a renewable resource that burns cleaner and longer, producing minimal soot.
-
Why do natural soy wax candles have a lighter scent compared to other candles?
The lighter scent in natural soy wax candles is due to the use of pure essential oils rather than synthetic fragrances. Essential oils provide a more subtle and natural aroma that is often gentler on the senses. While they may not be as strong or overpowering as synthetic fragrances, the scents from essential oils offer a more authentic and therapeutic experience. Additionally, soy wax itself has a lower melting point, which results in a slower and more even release of fragrance, creating a consistent but lighter scent throw.

How can I get the best fragrance from my natural soy wax candle?
To maximize the scent throw of your natural soy wax candle, ensure that it burns long enough to melt the wax all the way to the edge of the container on each use. This will prevent tunneling and allow the full surface of the wax to release its fragrance. Additionally, burning your candle in a smaller, enclosed space can help to concentrate the scent, creating a more noticeable aroma.
