At the heart of our home fragrance journey lies a choice that resonates with our core values – 100% American Grown Soy. This decision is not just about creating exceptional wax melts and candles; it's a testament to our unwavering dedication to the community and American farmers.
As farmers, we understand the dedication and hard work of cultivating the land. By choosing American-grown soy, we can create high-quality candles and wax melts, while supporting our friends, family, and neighbors in the farming community.
What is Soy Wax?
Soy wax is a natural, renewable substance derived from soybeans, primarily grown in fields across the United States. This eco-friendly wax is made by harvesting and processing soybeans into soybean oil. The oil is subsequently hydrogenated, transforming it into a solid form at room temperature, which we know as soy wax. This process makes efficient use of a crop byproduct and results in a biodegradable and non-toxic wax. Unlike its traditional counterpart, paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, soy wax is a sustainable and environmentally conscious choice. It boasts a lower melting point, allowing soy wax candles to burn slower and longer while producing less soot. This natural wax also disperses fragrance evenly and effectively, making it a popular choice for scented candles. Using soy wax supports agricultural industries and provides home fragrance enthusiasts with a cleaner, more sustainable option.
The Unique Properties of Soy Wax
Soy wax, sets the stage for an unparalleled home fragrance experience. Soy wax, derived from eco-friendly and renewable sources, starkly contrasts traditional paraffin wax, which is petroleum-based and non-renewable. The choice of soy wax offers both environmental and practical benefits. Soy wax candles burn more slowly than those made from paraffin, offering a longer-lasting candle experience.
While all candles produce some black soot, soy wax candles burn more cleanly, significantly reducing soot. A key highlight of soy wax in candle making is its natural ability to carry fragrances without chemical enhancers. This leads to candles that emit a more authentic and well-balanced scent, enhancing the overall experience.
