Why Soy Wax Candles Are Better: A Guide for the Conscious Buyer

When it comes to creating a cozy, calming atmosphere, candles are a timeless favourite. But not all candles are made the same. As more shoppers look for clean, sustainable options, soy wax candles have become the top choice for conscious buyers — and for good reason.

At KANDLD, every candle we hand-pour is made with 100% soy wax, and here’s exactly why.

1. Soy Wax Is a Cleaner, Safer Burn

Traditional paraffin candles are made from petroleum by-products. When burned, they can release unwanted toxins into your home.

Soy wax, on the other hand, is:

  • Plant-based
  • Renewable
  • Non-toxic
  • Naturally clean-burning

That means less soot, cleaner air, and a healthier environment for your home — especially important for families, pets, and small spaces.

2. Longer Burn Time = Better Value

Soy wax burns at a lower temperature than paraffin wax.
This means:

  • Your candle melts more slowly
  • It lasts significantly longer
  • You get more hours of fragrance for the same size candle

For conscious shoppers, soy wax is not just cleaner — it’s smarter.

3. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Soybeans are a renewable resource, grown by farmers across North America. Choosing soy wax supports:

  • Sustainable agriculture
  • Lower carbon footprint
  • Biodegradable products

At KANDLD, we also use:

  • Cotton wicks
  • Phthalate-free fragrance oils
  • Recyclable packaging

Because clean candles should support a clean planet.

4. Better Scent Throw — Without Overpowering

Soy wax holds fragrance beautifully. It melts evenly and releases scent slowly and naturally, giving you a gentle, long-lasting aroma.

You’ll notice the difference in candles like:

  • Martini Candle (bright + modern)
  • Peony Candle (soft floral luxury)

Each candle fills the room softly — not overwhelmingly — creating a calming, premium experience.

5. Perfect for Sensitive Noses

If you’re sensitive to strong scents or get headaches easily, soy wax is a safer option. It doesn’t release harsh chemicals, making it ideal for:

  • Kids’ rooms
  • Apartments
  • Work-from-home spaces
  • Relaxation areas

A clean candle = a clean experience.

The KANDLD Promise

Every KANDLD candle is:

  • Hand-poured in small batches

Final Word: Choose Better, Burn Better

Choosing soy wax isn’t just about buying a candle — it’s about investing in your space, your health, and the planet.
And at KANDLD, we’re proud to be part of your journey toward cleaner, more mindful living.
