Home > Soy Wax FAQs

CandiLicious Candles only uses all natural, 100% soy wax in our candles!

And here's why...

1. Soy wax is made from the all American soybean. A totally renewable resource! Using soy helps support American agricultural industry!!  

2. Soy wax candles burn cleaner - that means virtually NO soot! Soy wax is non-toxic and 100% biodegradable. Take the Soy test - Look at your candle jars... If there is soot around the jar, your candle is made from paraffin wax - Not Soy! 

3. Soy wax candles burn incredibly longer than paraffin wax candles. In most some cases, up to 50-70% longer! That translates into you enjoying your candles a whole lot longer!  

4. Did I mention soy wax candles produce about 95% less soot than paraffin wax candles!

CandiLicious Candles tips for burning your candles...

1. Ensure that you keep the wick trimmer between 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch each time before lighting your candle. 

2. To prevent tunneling, the first time you burn your soy wax candle, ensure that you that the surface of your candle develop an even melt pool around the wick that extends to the edge of the jar! This is important because soy wax has a memory and it will remember the size of the melt pool when you relight your candle.

3. Your candle should not be burn for more than 4 hours at a time. These will prevent it from overheating and possibly catching the wax on fire.

4. Always burn your candle within sight and on a level, heat resistant surface.

5. Don't let your kids play with matches!
