Why 100% Soy Wax is Better Than Soy Wax Blends

Why 100% Soy Wax is Better Than Soy Wax Blends

When it comes to choosing the best candle, the wax it’s made from matters more than you might think. If you’ve been wondering whether 100% soy wax is really superior to soy wax blends, you’re not alone. At first glance, they may seem similar, but there are key differences that can affect everything from burn quality to your health and the environment. Here’s why we always choose 100% soy wax—and why you should, too.

1. Cleaner Burning, No Toxins

100% soy wax is a natural product made from soybeans, meaning it burns clean without releasing harmful toxins. Soy wax blends often contain paraffin or other additives, which can emit soot and potentially harmful chemicals into the air. If you’re burning candles in your home (especially around kids or pets), this makes a huge difference.

2. Better for the Environment

Soybeans are a renewable resource. Soy wax is biodegradable and sourced from plants grown primarily in the U.S., making it a sustainable and eco-conscious choice. Soy wax blends often include paraffin, a byproduct of petroleum, which is non-renewable and contributes to environmental pollution during production and burning.

3. Longer Burn Time

Because 100% soy wax burns at a lower temperature than blends, your candle will last longer. A longer burn time means you’re getting more for your money—plus, it’s better for slow, consistent scent release (which brings us to the next point).

4. Cleaner Scent Throw

With 100% soy wax, you get a more natural scent experience. It allows for a smooth, even scent throw—subtle but noticeable. Soy wax blends, especially those with paraffin, can sometimes overpower the room or release a more artificial smell. If you love a candle that smells great but doesn’t slap you in the face, soy wax is the way to go.

5. No Hidden Ingredients

With soy blends, it’s often unclear what’s actually in the wax. “Blend” is a vague term that can hide a mix of paraffin, palm, beeswax, or other synthetic materials. With 100% soy wax, what you see is what you get—no surprises, no mystery mix, just pure plant-based wax.

Bottom Line: Purity Matters

In a world where transparency and health are more important than ever, choosing 100% soy wax over blends is a no-brainer. It’s better for your air, your home, your conscience, and the planet.
