What You Need To Know About Soy Wax

What is Soy Wax?
Soy wax is a 100% natural wax derived from the vegetable soybeans.

How is Soy Wax made?
After soybeans are harvested, they are cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the flakes and follows a procedure called hydrogenated.

This process concerts some of the fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated. This alters the melting point of the oil, making it solid at room temperature. 

Benefits of Soy Wax
Soy wax is by far one of the safest waxes and is completely renewable.

Soy wax has a lower melting point which means it burns cooler and will last longer so you can enjoy your delicious scents for much longer.

Candles made from soy wax burn cleaner and results in less soot compared to other waxes.

Soy Wax is also an excellent fragrance carrier and holds the scent of your candle very well.

During the hydrogenated process when extracting the oil from the soybeans, the leftover husks are commonly used as animal feed.
