When it comes to choosing the perfect candle, it’s not just about the fragrance — the type of wax used also plays a significant role in the burn quality, health, and environmental impact of your candle.

Soy Wax vs. Paraffin Wax

We choose to work with soy wax because it's a kinder, more natural option for both your home and the environment.

Soy wax is made from renewable plant-based sources, unlike paraffin wax which is derived from petroleum. This means it's a more sustainable choice, especially for those looking to reduce their impact.

It also burns more cleanly, producing less soot and helping to keep your space fresher. You'll often find that soy candles burn more slowly too, giving you longer to enjoy your favourite scents.

Another reason we love soy wax is the way it carries fragrance-releasing a soft, consistent scent that fills your home without being overpowering.

It's a simple switch, but one that makes a real difference-for both the planet and for creating a calm, cosy atmosphere at home.

Soy Wax vs. Beeswax

Beeswax candles are another natural alternative, but unlike soy wax, they’re an animal by-product.

Beeswax burns very slowly, emits a naturally sweet, honey-like scent, and can even help purify the air by releasing negative ions.

However, it tends to be more expensive, and not everyone is comfortable using an animal-derived product.

Soy wax, on the other hand, is 100% plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free. It’s an excellent choice for those following an ethical, eco-conscious lifestyle.
