There is actually no
candle soy wax that is 100% natural, since there is
processing along the way that typically introduces non-plant
material. This most often occurs when fragrance oils are
used instead of essential oils for scenting the candle. Candle
soy wax is a true single pour wax, and is designed to adhere to
the side of the jars. This type of wax holds and
distributes color well, for a nice, uniform look to candles.
Soy wax also holds an average amount of fragrance oil, so
richly-scented candles are definitely a possibility with this
type of wax. Fragrance oil retention of 6% is typical, and
higher amounts are possibly achievable with the use of certain
additives, but this is moving the soy candle wax away from being
a 100% natural product. One of the positive
benefits of this type of candle, is the fact that soy wax burns
quite cleanly, especially in relation to petroleum-based
products that are rampant in the candle industry.
Typically, the wicks are all made of cotton, which also adds to
the candles natural appeal, while providing a clean burn.
Soy candle wax is still difficult to come by in wholesale, but
it's quickly gaining in popularity. It appeals to a wide
audience, and although candles made from this type of wax can be
more expensive, knowing that you're burning an all-natural,
completely plant-based candle is more than worth the few extra
pennies. We carry only the finest soy candles
that are available. These portable tins are perfect for
candlelit evenings, baths, and can even travel with you cleanly
and effortlessly. The tins themselves are attractive, but
these candles burn safely within their own portable container,
