What are scented soy candles?
Scented soy candles are candles made from natural soy wax blended with essential oils and fragrance oils. They burn cleanly, hold scent beautifully, and create a cosy, calming atmosphere in your home
Are soy candles better than paraffin candles?
Soy candles are plant‑based, biodegradable, and burn cleaner than paraffin. They produce less soot, last longer, and offer a more natural, gentle fragrance experience.
How long do soy candles burn?
Our soy candles burn for 30–45 hours, depending on size and wick care. Soy wax melts slower than paraffin, giving you a longer‑lasting candle.
How do I make my soy candle burn evenly?
Let the candle melt to the edges on the first burn (usually 2–4 hours). Trim the wick to 5mm before each use to prevent tunnelling and keep the flame steady.
