Why Soy Wax Is Better Than Paraffin Wax:
Most commercial candles are made with paraffin wax—a petroleum byproduct that releases harmful toxins, soot, and carcinogens when burned. Paraffin candles pollute your indoor air, leave black soot on walls and ceilings, and contribute to environmental damage. Our Soft Soy Wax works completely differently, which is why conscious candle makers choose it over paraffin every time. Soy wax is 100% plant-based, made from renewable soybeans—not petroleum. It's sustainable, biodegradable, and better for the planet. It burns clean with minimal soot, keeping your indoor air fresher and healthier. No toxic fumes, no carcinogens, no harmful chemicals released into your home. It has a lower melting point than paraffin, which means it burns slower and lasts longer—your candles burn up to 50% longer than paraffin candles. It has excellent fragrance throw—essential oils and fragrances blend beautifully and release evenly as the candle burns, filling your space with natural, beautiful scent. It's easy to work with—melts smoothly, pours easily, and creates a beautiful, creamy finish in container candles. It's vegan, cruelty-free, and free from animal products or testing. The result? Candles that are cleaner, safer, longer-lasting, more sustainable, and more beautiful than anything made with paraffin. This is why conscious makers choose soy wax—it's better for your health, your home, and the planet.

How to Use:
Basic Candle-Making Process: Measure your wax—1kg makes approximately 5-7 medium (200ml) container candles. Melt the soy wax in a double boiler or wax melter at 70-80°C (160-180°F). Stir gently and avoid overheating. Once fully melted, remove from heat and let cool slightly to 60-65°C (140-150°F). Add your essential oils or fragrance oils (typically 6-10% of wax weight) and stir thoroughly to blend. Add candle dye if desired (optional). Prepare your containers with wicks secured at the bottom and centered. Pour the wax slowly and steadily into your prepared containers, leaving about 1cm space at the top. Let candles cool and set completely (24-48 hours) before trimming wicks to 5mm and burning.
Tips for Best Results: Use cotton or hemp wicks for clean burning. Cure candles for 1-2 weeks before burning for best fragrance throw. Store unused wax in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Experiment with essential oil blends to create custom scents. Use heat-safe glass jars, tins, or ceramic containers.

What to Expect:
When you open your bag of Soft Soy Wax, you'll find creamy, off-white flakes or pellets that are easy to measure and melt. The wax melts smoothly and evenly in a double boiler without clumping or burning. It has a neutral, clean scent that won't interfere with your essential oils or fragrances. When you add essential oils or fragrances, they blend beautifully and evenly throughout the wax. The wax pours smoothly into containers without lumps, bubbles, or uneven texture. As it cools, it creates a beautiful, creamy, smooth finish with minimal frosting (the white, crystalline appearance that's natural to soy wax and doesn't affect performance). When you burn your finished candles, they burn clean with minimal soot, no black smoke, and no toxic fumes. The flame is steady, even, and beautiful. The fragrance releases evenly and fills your space with natural, beautiful scent. Your candles burn slowly and evenly, lasting up to 50% longer than paraffin candles of the same size. Your home stays cleaner—no soot buildup on walls, ceilings, or furniture. The air stays fresher and healthier without paraffin toxins. Many candle makers report that switching to soy wax has transformed their candle-making experience. Beginners report that soy wax is easy to work with and forgiving. Experienced makers report superior fragrance throw and burn quality. Small businesses report that customers love the clean, natural, eco-friendly candles. Aromatherapy enthusiasts report that essential oils blend beautifully and release therapeutically. Eco-conscious creators report satisfaction from using sustainable, renewable materials. One 1kg bag makes 5-7 medium candles, making it excellent value for quality, clean-burning, plant-based candle wax.
