Why I Choose Soy Wax Candles (And You Might Want To, Too)
Not all candles are created equal. Soy wax burns cleaner, lasts longer, and holds scent beautifully — and that’s exactly why it’s the heart of every candle I pour. Here’s what makes it so special.

When I first started making candles, I knew I wanted something natural, safe, and good for both people and the environment. That’s how I discovered soy wax — and once I learned the difference, I never looked back.
So what makes soy wax candles so special? Let me share why it’s the wax I trust and the only kind I use in my shop.
It’s Cleaner for Your Home
Soy wax is made from soybeans — a natural, renewable resource grown by farmers (right here in the U.S.). Unlike paraffin wax, which is made from petroleum, soy burns cleanly. That means no black soot on your walls or air, and no harsh chemicals being released as it burns. Just clean, cozy light and beautiful scent.
It Lasts Longer
One of the things customers tell me they love is how long my candles burn — and that’s all thanks to soy wax. It burns slower and cooler than other types of wax, which means your favorite candle lasts longer. More time to enjoy the scent you love.
It Holds Scent Beautifully
Soy wax has an amazing ability to hold and release fragrance in a gentle, even way. Whether it’s fruity, floral, warm, or earthy, the scent throws nicely without being overpowering. You get a balanced, welcoming aroma that fills the room just right.
It’s Better for You (and the Planet)
Soy wax is biodegradable and free from toxins, parabens, phthalates, and petroleum. I pair it with phthalate-free fragrance oils and lead-free cotton or wooden wicks, so every candle is as clean and natural as possible. It's all about making something you can feel good about lighting in your home.
In the End, It Just Feels Right
For me, soy wax isn’t just an ingredient — it’s a choice that aligns with everything I want my products to represent: quality, care, and a little peace of mind. Every candle is hand-poured with love and intention, using ingredients I truly believe in.
So the next time you light one of my candles, know it was made with your well-being in mind — and with wax that’s better for your space, your health, and the world we live in.
