Who Doesn’t Love a NATURAL beauty!
At AIRWAXX Co. we pride ourselves on use of safe, clean and environmental friendly products. All of our candles are made with 100% natural soy wax.
Soy wax is a vegetable wax derived from soybeans. Most of the world’s soybeans are grown and harvested in the Midwestern United States - Illinois, Iowa, and Indiana. After harvesting, the beans are cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes, at which point the oil can be extracted from the flakes and hydrogenated (the leftover flakes are used for animal feed). The process of hydrogenating the oil alters the melting point of the oil, making it solid at room temperature and suitable for candle use.
By contrast, paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, coal, or oil shale. It is made by removing the waxy substance from crude oil, a non-renewable resource. Paraffin wax is the most commonly used wax to make candles, largely because it is cheaper and more accessible than soy wax. So while soy wax is made from environmentally friendly, renewable resources, paraffin is a by-product of petroleum and thus non-renewable.
But the advantages don’t stop with the environment (although, that’s pretty compelling if you ask us). Soy wax also burns slower than paraffin wax, meaning you’ll get a candle that lasts longer. And while all candles emit some black soot while burning, soy wax burns cleaner and results in less soot than paraffin. Soy is also an excellent carrier of fragrance, without requiring chemical amplifiers to enhance the scent throw and ensuring a well-balanced, true-to-scent candle.
Another reason to choose soy wax when it comes to candles is the fact that soy wax is an excellent fragrance carrier that does not require chemical amplifiers. The result is a well-balanced true to scent candle.
Since soy wax is a natural product, you may notice slight variations throughout the year. The wax may be very soft in its solid state, or as hard as a rock during other times. Sometimes the wax melts so clear and translucent, and other times it may melt and look a little cloudy. All of this is normal and expected when choosing a soy candle.
