1. Soy Wax Burns Cleaner With Less Soot

One of the biggest benefits of soy wax candles is that they produce very little soot.
This means:

• Cleaner air in your home

• Less black residue on your jars

• No staining on walls or ceilings

• Safer breathing environment for kids and pets

Paraffin candles often create dark soot because they’re made from petroleum.
Soy wax is plant-based, so it burns much cleaner and safer.

2. Longer Burn Time = Better Value

Soy wax burns at a cooler temperature, which makes the candle last longer than paraffin.
A high-quality soy candle can burn 30–50% longer.
