Soy Wax: A Sustainable Choice for Beautiful Candles

At Our House, we’re dedicated to delivering high-quality products that not only enhance your home but also reflect our commitment to sustainability. One way we uphold this pledge is by choosing the finest, eco-friendly ingredients for our candles. Today, we want to shed light on why we take our choice of wax seriously and why soy wax is at the heart of our commitment to crafting exceptional candles.

💭 The Wax Dilemma: Soy vs. Palm vs. Coconut vs. Paraffin

When it comes to candle wax, there’s a myriad of choices available, each with its own unique properties. At Our House, we’ve meticulously considered the options and made the deliberate choice to use pure soy wax. Here’s a comparative look at soy wax versus other common types of wax:

1. Soy Wax: A Sustainable Champion 🫘

Pure soy wax is a natural and renewable resource, making it an eco-friendly choice. It’s derived from soybean oil, which is widely cultivated and easily replenished. By choosing soy wax, we reduce our carbon footprint and support sustainable agriculture.

2. Palm Wax: The Environmental Concerns 🌴

Palm wax, derived from palm oil, has raised environmental concerns due to deforestation and habitat destruction. While sustainable palm oil practices exist, it can be challenging to verify the source of palm wax in many products.

3. Coconut Wax: A Solid Alternative 🥥

Coconut wax is an appealing choice due to its slow burn and clean-burning properties. However, coconut farming practices can vary in sustainability, and it may not always be as eco-friendly as soy wax.

4. Paraffin Wax: The Non-Renewable Option 🛢️

Paraffin wax, derived from petroleum, is a commonly used but non-renewable resource. It produces black soot when burned and releases harmful chemicals, making it a less desirable choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

😌 The Benefits of Pure Soy Wax

Now, let’s delve into the benefits of choosing pure soy wax for our candles:

1. Clean Burning: Soy wax burns cleanly, producing significantly less soot than paraffin candles. This not only preserves the air quality in your home but also helps extend the life of your candles.

2. Sustainable Sourcing: Soybeans are an abundant and renewable resource, ensuring a consistent supply without depleting the environment.

3. Biodegradable: Soy wax is biodegradable, meaning it breaks down naturally and doesn’t contribute to long-lasting waste.

4. Long-Lasting: Soy candles burn longer than paraffin candles, providing you with more hours of enjoyment.

5. Minimal Scent Interference: Soy wax has a neutral scent, allowing the fragrance of our candles to shine through without interference from the wax.
