Soy Wax Candles
Soy Wax Candles UK
In today's world, where more and more people are looking for eco-friendly alternatives to traditional products, Soy wax candles are a popular choice for candles at home. Unlike traditional paraffin candles, which are made from petroleum-based products, soy wax candles are derived from plant-based, sustainable resources.
In our experience, soy wax candles offer a longer lasting, cleaner and more even burn as compared to traditional paraffin candles. Combined with wood wicks, soy wax candles create desirable crackling sounds for that ulitimate 'sound and light' ambienece.

Soy Wax Candles Benefits
Soy wax candles are made from soybean oil, which is a natural and renewable resource that can be sustainably grown. Soybeans are a crop that is widely cultivated, making soy wax an abundant and environmentally friendly alternative to paraffin wax. The oil is extracted from the soybeans and undergoes a hydrogenation process to turn it into a solid wax.
Soy wax candles have gained immense popularity in recent years due to their numerous advantages over traditional paraffin wax candles. They offer a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable alternative for lighting your home. A superior choice for those who care about quality and sustainability.
