1. Cleaner Burn for a Healthier Home

When you light a candle, you want the ambiance to feel relaxing—not to worry about harmful toxins filling the air. That’s where soy wax excels. Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum and can release soot and toxic chemicals when burned, soy wax is a natural, non-toxic option that burns cleanly.

• No Soot: Soy wax candles produce less soot compared to paraffin wax, which means cleaner air and fewer stains on your walls and furniture.

• Non-Toxic: Soy wax burns without releasing harmful chemicals such as benzene or toluene, which are found in paraffin candles. This makes soy wax a safer, healthier option for your home.

By choosing soy wax candles, you can enjoy a beautiful scent without compromising your indoor air quality.

 

 

2. A Longer, More Efficient Burn

Who doesn’t want a candle that lasts longer? Soy wax has a lower melting point compared to paraffin, which means it burns slower and more evenly, allowing you to enjoy your Whiff & Wick candle for a longer period of time.

• Extended Burn Time: Soy wax burns 30-50% longer than paraffin wax. So, when you light one of our soy wax candles, you can expect a longer-lasting fragrance experience.

• Even Burning: The slower, more even burn ensures that the wax pool is evenly distributed, which prevents tunneling and allows the candle to burn down uniformly.

This means you get more hours of ambiance, making it a more economical and enjoyable choice in the long run.

3. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

At Whiff & Wick, sustainability is at the heart of our mission. Soy wax is renewable and biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to paraffin wax. Here’s why it’s better for the planet:

• Sustainability: Soybeans, the main ingredient in soy wax, are a renewable resource, unlike paraffin, which is a byproduct of petroleum. By choosing soy wax, you’re supporting sustainable farming practices and reducing your carbon footprint.

• Biodegradable: Unlike synthetic waxes, soy wax breaks down naturally, making it much better for the environment. Whether it's disposed of in the trash or left to burn, soy wax won’t harm the planet.

When you choose Whiff & Wick candles, you’re not only treating yourself to a luxurious experience—you’re also contributing to a greener planet.

4. Better Fragrance Throw

Have you ever burned a candle and felt like the scent just wasn’t strong enough? Soy wax has a remarkable ability to hold and release fragrance oils more effectively than other wax types. This is one of the key reasons soy wax is favored by candle makers around the world.

• Strong Scent Throw: Thanks to its low melting point, soy wax releases fragrance more efficiently, creating a strong, long-lasting scent that fills your room with just the right amount of aroma.

• Pure, Clean Scents: Since soy wax doesn’t burn with a smoky residue, it allows the fragrance to shine through without interference, giving you a cleaner, more authentic scent experience.

Whether you’re lighting up the Coconut Essence for a cozy evening or setting the mood with Nordic Serenity, soy wax ensures that your favorite scents linger in the air, creating the perfect atmosphere.

 

 

5. Safer for Your Health and the Environment

Soy wax is naturally non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and free of harmful chemicals like phthalates, which are often found in synthetic fragrances. This makes it a safer option for homes with children, pets, or those with respiratory concerns or sensitivities.

• Healthier for You: Soy wax is a clean-burning, non-toxic material, which means you won’t have to worry about harmful chemicals entering your lungs when you light a candle.

• No Synthetic Chemicals: Many commercial candles are made with fragrances and additives that can cause headaches or allergic reactions. With soy wax, you’re getting a pure, natural product without unnecessary fillers.

By choosing soy wax, you’re prioritizing your health while also creating a safer, more pleasant atmosphere in your home.
