What are the benefits of 100% soy candles?
Soy candles burn cleaner, last longer, and produce less soot than paraffin candles. They’re also made from renewable, plant-based soy wax, making them an eco-friendly choice.
Do soy candles burn longer than paraffin candles?
Yes! Soy wax burns at a lower temperature than paraffin, which means soy candles can last up to 50% longer, giving you more value for your money.
Are soy candles safe for people with allergies or asthma?
Soy candles are a great choice for those with sensitivities because they don’t release toxic chemicals like paraffin candles do. They produce minimal soot and contain no artificial additives.
Why do soy candles sometimes have a frosted appearance?
Frosting is a natural characteristic of 100% soy wax and is a sign of purity. It doesn’t affect the candle’s performance and actually indicates that no additives or paraffin were used.
How can I make my soy candle last longer?
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface, and avoid burning your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
Do soy candles give off a strong scent throw?
Yes! Soy wax holds fragrance well, but since it burns cooler than paraffin, the scent throw is more natural and consistent rather than overpowering.
Are your candles made with synthetic fragrances or essential oils?
Sonoran Sanctuary Candle Studio uses high-quality, phthalate-free fragrance oils, which may include a blend of essential and natural oils for a safe and enjoyable experience.
Why does my soy candle have a rough or uneven top after burning?
This is completely normal for 100% soy wax. Since it’s a natural product, minor imperfections may occur, but they do not affect the candle’s quality or performance.
Are soy candles environmentally friendly?
Absolutely! Soy wax is biodegradable, made from renewable soybeans, and burns cleaner than paraffin, making it a more sustainable choice for candle lovers.
Do soy candles require any special care?
Yes! Keep the wick trimmed, allow a full melt pool to form on the first burn to prevent tunneling, and store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
