Benefits of Using Natural Soy Candles

When Bottlenose began making candles, we found natural soy wax and were instantly captivated by its soft glow and fresh scent. Unlike conventional paraffin candles, soy candles provide numerous advantages, making them a more intelligent and environmentally friendly option. If you enjoy the cozy atmosphere of candles and are also conscious of both the environment and your health, you'll value the benefits that soy candles offer.


Why Choose Natural Soy Candles?


Natural soy candles are crafted from soybean oil, a renewable resource that offers a cleaner and longer burn compared to paraffin wax. This allows you to enjoy more hours of calming light and fragrance without the harmful chemicals. We've observed that soy candles emit minimal soot, helping to keep the air in homes fresher and walls cleaner.


Here are some key reasons why natural soy candles stand out:


  • Eco-friendly: Soybeans are a sustainable crop, so using soy wax supports agriculture that’s better for the planet.

  • Biodegradable: Soy wax breaks down naturally, reducing waste and environmental impact.

  • Longer burn time: Soy candles typically last 30-50% longer than paraffin candles.

  • Cleaner burn: Less soot and toxins means a healthier indoor environment.

  • Better scent throw: Soy wax holds fragrance oils well, giving a more natural and subtle aroma.

How Natural Soy Candles Enhance Your Space


Lighting a soy candle is more than just adding light - it’s about creating an atmosphere. We love how the soft flicker of a soy candle instantly makes any room feel cozy and inviting. Because soy wax burns evenly, the candle melts smoothly, releasing fragrance consistently without overpowering the senses.


Here are some ways natural soy candles can enhance your living space:


  • Relaxation and stress relief: The gentle scent and warm glow help calm the mind after a busy day.

  • Improved air quality: Unlike paraffin, soy wax doesn’t release harmful chemicals, so your air stays cleaner.

  • Decorative appeal: Soy candles come in beautiful containers and natural colors that complement any décor.

  • Perfect for gifting: Their eco-friendly nature and elegant look make them thoughtful presents.


Soy candles are an excellent choice for enhancing the tranquility of a living room or bedroom. They are also ideal for meditation or yoga sessions, where maintaining a serene atmosphere is crucial.


Supporting Sustainability with Every Candle


We choose soy wax primarily because of its environmental benefits. Soybeans are cultivated in various regions globally, including Australia, making soy wax a renewable and locally sourced alternative. This choice diminishes the dependence on petroleum-based paraffin wax, which is derived from the oil industry.


By choosing soy candles, you’re supporting:


  • Renewable agriculture: Soybeans are a crop that can be replanted yearly.

  • Lower carbon footprint: Soy wax production emits fewer greenhouse gases.

  • Reduced waste: Soy wax is biodegradable and easier to clean up if spilled.

  • Ethical brands: Many soy candle makers, like Bottlenose Candles, focus on sustainability and conservation efforts.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Natural Soy Candles


To fully enjoy your soy candles, here are some tips we've discovered:


  1. Trim the wick: Keep the wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch before lighting. This helps the candle burn evenly and prevents soot.

  2. Burn long enough: Let the candle burn until the wax melts across the entire surface. This avoids tunneling and maximizes burn time.

  3. Store properly: Keep candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve fragrance and color.

  4. Use a candle snuffer: Extinguish the flame gently to avoid smoke and maintain air quality.

  5. Recycle containers: Many soy candle jars can be cleaned and reused for storage or decoration.


By following these simple steps, you’ll get the best experience and value from your natural soy candles.
