“Soy wax comes from the oil of soybeans. Soy wax is less expensive than beeswax but still has all-natural ingredients. In addition, soy is vegetable-based and vegan and won't harm the environment the way harvesting beeswax can sometimes do to bee colonies.” Which is a huge reason as to why we use soy! As mentioned in previous blogs, “Soy candles are non-toxic and burn cleanly with no soot or strong odors. In addition, soy candle wax is biodegradable, so there's no worrying about harmful chemical emissions or toxic materials leaching into your home.” Another reason we have chosen soy over beeswax is due to the fragrance. Soy eliminates fragrance more than beeswax. Beeswax is often known for having a light sweet smell.
