Soy candles come with their share of properties and benefits (that we love!!). Difficult to master and expensive to make, soy candles are real luxuries in a jar . Made from natural and renewable soy wax, they burn cleaner and longer than traditional paraffin-based candles, thus reducing the ecological footprint. Soy candles certainly contain one thing: a large dose of love in their making. Why choose them? For their delicate scent, their eco-friendly aspect, and the soft ambiance they create in your home, making every moment more special. Learn more about soy candles and their little sisters, tarts, below!
Soy wax is a renewable and biodegradable resource, making it a more environmentally friendly choice than alternatives like petroleum-derived paraffin. The glass jars of our beautiful candles are reusable. Yay! Beautiful and eco-friendly!
Soy candles burn cleaner than paraffin candles, producing less soot and residue, which helps maintain indoor air quality. Safe for our little ones (who should be kept away from the flames) and our pets.
Soy candles tend to burn slower than paraffin candles, which means they last longer, providing better value. Our candles burn approximately 35 hours.
Our soy candles are scented at 10%, which is relatively light to avoid headaches due to odors. As for the tarts, their composition is also made of a soy wax reserved for this purpose and their fragrance amounts to 12%. Soy wax has a better capacity to retain and diffuse fragrances, which often gives a more intense and longer-lasting fragrance compared to paraffin candles.
Since soy wax is natural, candles made from this raw material are generally considered safer for health , as they do not release harmful substances when burned. Soy tarts are also safer for homes with children and pets. A tart can be melted in a traditional diffuser or a flameless electric diffuser.
