🌿 Why Soy Wax Candles Are Better for You and the Planet

By Shivora Candles | Hand-Poured in Ontario, Canada

✨ The Heart Behind Every Flame

When you light a candle, it’s more than just a scent—it’s an atmosphere, a feeling. At Shivora Candles, we believe those little moments of calm should also be kind to the planet. That’s why all our candles are made with 100% natural soy wax, hand-poured right here in Ontario.

🪴 1. Soy Wax Is 100% Natural

Soy wax is made from soybean oil, a renewable, plant-based resource grown right here in North America.

Unlike paraffin wax—which comes from petroleum—soy wax is biodegradable and non-toxic. That means no harsh chemicals released into your home.

💚 Bonus: Supporting soy-based products also supports local farmers and reduces dependence on fossil fuels.

🔥 2. Cleaner Burn, Healthier Air

Have you ever noticed black soot building up on the jar or walls from some candles?

That’s usually from paraffin wax.

Soy wax burns cleaner and slower, producing little to no soot—so your walls, air, and lungs stay fresh. It’s especially good for homes with kids, pets, or anyone sensitive to air quality.

🕯️ 3. Longer Burn Time

Because soy wax burns at a lower temperature, it lasts much longer than traditional candles.

An 8 oz Shivora Candle can give you up to 45 hours of beautiful, consistent fragrance.

You’re not just lighting a candle—you’re investing in long-lasting comfort.

🌸 4. Better Scent Throw

Soy wax holds fragrance oils more effectively, releasing scent evenly as it melts.

That means every time you light your Shivora Candle, you get a balanced, room-filling aroma—not an overpowering blast.

Whether it’s Sandalwood & Amber or Love Spell, your space will smell heavenly from first burn to last

🌎 5. Eco-Friendly from Wick to Jar

At Shivora Candles, we don’t stop at soy wax:

• Eco-cotton wicks (no lead or zinc)
• Recyclable glass jars
• Phthalate-free fragrance oils
• Locally sourced ingredients when possible

Even our packaging is chosen with the environment in mind—because luxury can still be sustainable.

💚 Final Thoughts

Choosing soy wax candles isn’t just a trend—it’s a small, mindful decision that makes a real difference.

Every Shivora Candle is a reminder that self-care and sustainability can live in harmony.

So next time you light your favorite candle, know you’re doing something good for yourself and for the Earth.
