Our customers have asked us why we use Soy wax for our candles. We have tried a variety of plant based and petroleum based waxes plus a variety of wax blends. We have found a British made pure soy wax product works best for us for the following reasons:
Sustainability - Soy wax is more gentle on our environment. Derived from soybeans, it is a natural and renewable crop creating far less impact on the planet than petroleum-based products. By using soy candle wax, we are reducing our carbon footprint and supporting sustainable agriculture.
User Friendly Product - Soy wax is a very user friendly and reliable product. It melts smoothly and holds fragrance well. At our wee shed in the Scottish Highlands we experience a great variance in ambient temperature across the months. This can affect the pouring and curing of the candles and we have found soy wax to be a reliable material to work with ensuring a consistently beautiful product.
It Burns Cleanly - Due to the fact that soy wax has a far lower melting point compared to fossil fuel based waxes, it has the better ability to burn more cleanly.
Less Harmful in your home - As soy wax can burn cleaner than other waxes, it produces far less soot, reducing the likelihood of air contamination therefore creating a healthier home environment.
Longer Burn Time - Another benefit of Soy wax’s low melting point is that it burns more slower and more steadily producing a longer-lasting and better value candle.
Better Scent Throw - Through our extensive trials, we have found soy wax to be a more superior medium which helps our fragrance blends and essential oils to disburse evenly, delivering a gorgeous aroma within your home. Creating an enchanting atmosphere.
