Plus, as the user, there is a level of control you have, and if you keep the wick trimmed it won’t soot while burning. The wicking of the candle - the type of braid and the size of the wick - also has a dramatic effect on how sooty your candles are. One myth to partially debunk is that “clean” burns only occur with certain types of waxes. We’ve learned from our extensive testing that soy wax, in general, is so clean burning that it's not subject to the same soot testing as paraffin waxes here in the US. It’s true that soy wax burns cleanly - you don’t see much soot coming off our candles. is carbon neutral because we partner with Climate Neutral to offset our carbon footprint, but I digress).
Soy wax is considered clean-burning, biodegradable, a renewable resource, and some even go as far as to call it “carbon neutral.” (Technically, everything we do at P.F. Candle manufacturers can call a candle a “soy candle” if it has any bit of soy wax in it, so if using a vegetable wax candle is important to you, be sure to ask what the blend is.
We use 100% soy wax - we do not blend it with other waxes. Fun fact: Leftover bean husks are used for animal feed. The process turns the soybeans into saturated fat - kinda like Crisco - and this changes the melt point of the oil, meaning it is solid at room temp. First, the soybeans are harvested, cleaned, and rolled into flakes, then oil is then extracted from the soybeans and hydrogenated. Soy wax is made through the process of hydrogenation.

So why would we continue to use soy wax? Let’s dive into some myths and facts about soy wax - no BS ahead - plus the safety of it, and other wax alternatives.īut first, what the hell is soy wax? And how is it made? Today, vegetable wax candles are much more popular, and people have their choice of types of wax to use. I liked that soy wax was grown domestically, and the soft, opaque color it imparted on my molded candles, plus the scent didn’t overpower the fragrances I infused in the wax. I made soy wax candles shaped like owls and repurposed old jars and teacups into vessels for my candles. of today was not even a dream in my mind, I was looking for ways to reduce my carbon footprint. has used soy wax to make our candles since we first started, when soy wax was one of the few vegetable waxes widely available on the market.
Today, we’re diving into a topic I surprisingly have a lot to say about: wax! *insert wax poetic joke here* P.F.
