5 Benefits of Soy Wax Candles

At Serenity by Flora we craft our products from 100% soy wax including all our candles and wax melts.

This begs the question: what advantages does soy wax offer over other waxes for making candles?

While many candles in the market boast natural fragrances, they may not be as healthy as advertised unless they are created from natural wax. Paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum or shale, is used in the manufacture of numerous candles, including popular and well-loved brands. Some candle makers also blend soy wax or other natural waxes with paraffin wax. However, burning paraffin wax can lead to inhaling carcinogenic substances, which is far from ideal.

Soy wax offers several benefits, including the following:

  1. Natural and renewable

  2. Burning cleaner

  3. Lasting longer

  4. Being biodegradable

  5. Offering a better scent

Soy wax candles have a slower burn time, which means that the scent is released more gradually, providing a longer-lasting and more sensuous fragrance. In summary, with so many advantages, it is difficult to see why anyone would want to choose a paraffin wax candle over a 100% soy wax candle. If you're interested, Serenity by Flora offers an exquisite selection of soy wax candles in their store.
