What are the benefits of a soy candle?

Soy candles are a luxurious way to light up your space, as they burn nice and clean with no sooty residue.
They not only burn beautifully but are also vegan and environmentally friendly. Soy candles contain no paraffin, petrochemicals, herbicides, or pesticides—making them biodegradable and sustainable. Plus, the wicks of soy candles are made out of sustainable cotton.
Besides its alluring smell, you can use these candles as massage oils. The wax has a cooler melting point than other candle materials and turns into oil when liquified. Just let it pool to the edge of the candle, extinguish the flame, check the temperature, and gently pour it into your skin for a soothing massage.
Our soy candles are made even safer with the addition of coconut wax. Not only does it help to withstand higher temperatures, but its natural properties can also nourish and moisturize your skin. What’s even better is that these massage candles come with a hefty price tag, but ours are very affordable.

Even though soy is generally considered a safe material, some of the extra components used in candles, like essential oils, can be harmful to dogs. Essential oils can create an environment unpleasant for larger animals such as dogs, as these oils are not always favorable for their respiratory systems and other organs. So always look for pet-friendly candles.
It depends mostly on what other materials are in the candle. If the wick and fragrance are made of non-toxic chemicals, then the soy candle can be less harmful to the environment than traditional paraffin wax candles. But if they contain any synthetic fragrances or colors, that could make them less eco-friendly.

We recently stumbled upon Oatley Bay candles at Sutherland Markets. The reed diffuser, candle, room spray and car scent that we purchased have the most wonderful smell. Compared to other well known brands that we have purchased in the past Oatley Bay are much stronger in scent. Beautifully packaged too. We will be back for more.
