Why Soy Wax Shines Above the Rest
When it comes to candles, the wax you choose makes all the difference. At LukiesCandles.com, we’re proud to use soy wax for our candles—and here’s why it’s the superior choice over other options like paraffin or beeswax.
First, soy wax is eco-friendly. Made from soybeans, a renewable resource, it’s biodegradable and leaves a smaller environmental footprint compared to paraffin, which is derived from petroleum. Choosing soy means you’re lighting up your space without contributing to fossil fuel depletion.
Second, it burns cleaner. Soy candles produce less soot and fewer toxins than paraffin, which can release harmful chemicals like benzene and toluene when burned. With soy, you get a purer experience—perfect for homes with kids, pets, or anyone who values clean air.
Third, soy offers a longer, slower burn. Its lower melting point means your candle lasts longer than paraffin counterparts, giving you more hours of cozy ambiance. Plus, it holds fragrance beautifully, releasing scents evenly without overpowering.
While beeswax has its charm, it’s pricier and less versatile for scent-throwing. Soy strikes the perfect balance: affordable, sustainable, and aromatic. So, when you light a
