Nowadays, there are scented candles with various ingredients on the market. The main ingredients are soy wax, beeswax, and paraffin wax.
However, please note that not all candles are created equal, and some may harm people’s health. Therefore, it is crucial to learn about the ingredients of candles, and help you to choose high quality candles.
Almost all good quality scented candles are soy wax, which is 100% vegetable-based. The ingredient of Fleurwee's scented candle is 100% soy wax, and it is made from natural resources.
So what exactly is soy wax?
Soybean wax is a plant wax made from soybean oil. After harvest, soybeans are washed, crushed, shelled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the tablets and hydrogenated. The hydrogenation process converts some fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated. This process greatly changes the oil's melting point and makes it a solid at room temperature.

And here are the 5 benefits of soy wax candles.
1. Natural Resource
Soy wax is a natural renewable resource, derived from raw soybeans, safe for human skin and respiratory system. It is entirely free of the toxins in regular paraffin wax, which depends on the supply of crude oil, a non-renewable resource containing carcinogenic substances.

2. Cleaner Burning
Paraffin candles typically produce much black soot that collects on the jar, as well as on walls and other surfaces in home. With candle burning cleaners made from soy wax, the candles release a small amount of soot as they burn and may collect some black soot on the jar, but in much lower amounts than paraffin candles. Soy wax candles are also non-toxic, so they do not release toxins into the air as they burn.
3. Lower Melting Point
Soy wax has a lower melting point than traditional wax, making soy wax candles last longer than paraffin or beeswax candles. Soy wax burns calmer and slower, so people can enjoy the burning time of soy wax candles, which is usually 35-50% longer than paraffin wax candles. People may spend more on a soy candle at first, but the longer it burns, the less often will need to buy new candles.
4. Biodegradable
Soy wax is naturally biodegradable. When the candle is finished burning, just use warm water and detergent to clean the container and it can be recycled.
5. Skin Care Use
Pure natural 100% soybean wax has a high moisturizing degree and is easily absorbed by the skin. In addition, the temperature of the wax itself is not high (about 38-43 ℃), which makes soybean wax a natural, high-quality hand cream.
