Why Soy Candles Are a Game-Changer for Eco-Conscious Living
Let’s face it: traditional paraffin candles might look pretty, but they’re often made from petroleum byproducts, releasing toxins like benzene and toluene into the air you breathe. Not exactly the vibe for a zen home, right? Soy candles flip the script with a cleaner, greener approach.
The Soy Advantage: Clean, Long-Lasting, and Kind to the Planet
• Renewable and Biodegradable: Derived from soybeans – a renewable crop – soy wax breaks down naturally, leaving zero harmful residue. Unlike paraffin, it produces minimal soot, keeping your air fresh and your surfaces spotless.
• Superior Burn Time: An 8 oz soy candle can burn for 40-45 hours, giving you more moments of bliss per pour. That’s value for your wallet and the environment.
• Even Fragrance Throw: Soy wax holds scents beautifully, releasing aromas gradually without overwhelming your senses. Say goodbye to those headache-inducing blasts and hello to subtle, soothing diffusion.
At Shivora Candles, every candle is hand-poured in Canada using 100% pure soy wax, lead-free cotton wicks, and phthalate-free fragrance oils. They’re vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens or toxins – safe for you, your family, and even your furry friends. Plus, with burn times designed for real life, they’re perfect for everything from quick meditation sessions to marathon movie nights.
But the real magic? These aren’t just candles; they’re aromatherapy gifts that promote wellness. Imagine sinking into your favorite chair as notes of warm vanilla wrap around you like a hug. That’s the Shivora difference.

Pro Tips for Getting the Most from Your Soy Candles
To keep your Shivora candles burning bright (and lasting longer), follow these simple rituals:
• Trim the Wick: Snip to ¼ inch before each light-up to prevent soot and ensure an even melt pool.
• Burn Smart: Let it burn 2-3 hours the first time for full fragrance release, and never more than 4 hours at a stretch.
• Safe Spaces: Always use on heat-safe surfaces in well-ventilated rooms. Keep away from drafts, kids, and pets.
• Storage Savvy: Cool, dry spots away from sunlight preserve the wax and scents – think linen closet, not windowsill.
Bonus: Soy’s low melt point means it cools quickly if you need to pause your vibe session. Eco-win!
