Soy wax offers significant environmental benefits, starting with its origin as a renewable, plant-based resource made from soybeans grown by local farmers. Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, soy wax has a much smaller carbon footprint throughout its lifecycle—from cultivation and harvesting to production and use. Its clean-burning properties reduce indoor air pollution by producing little to no soot, helping maintain better air quality in your home. Because soy wax burns more slowly, it releases fragrance gradually, resulting in a longer-lasting, more enjoyable scent experience.
