Why choose a soy candle?

You often ask us why our candles are all made with soy wax, so today we try to summarize the main characteristics of our beloved ingredient and understand why it is so popular, especially in recent years.

The characteristics of soy wax

Soy wax contains only soybean oil, obtained from cleaned and dehusked plants, without the addition of paraffin , an ingredient derived from petroleum and used for its low cost to the detriment of the quality of the product and above all of health, since these are substances that, once burned, are dispersed into the environment and inhaled.

For this reason, MADA essence uses soy wax as a 100% natural and biodegradable ingredient that derives from vegetable soy, free from any type of ingredient harmful to humans or the environment.

The benefits of soy candles

The advantages that a consumer has in purchasing a candle made of soy wax are many:

• The candle burns longer , as it burns at a lower temperature.
• There is no paraffin, so the candle burns “cleaner”, without any black and harmful residues.
• It is a sustainable choice , because it is created from soybean oil, a natural and renewable resource as well as biodegradable.
• The scent is more delicate and non-toxic, so it does not influence the palate and sense of smell too strongly, which makes it suitable for environments where we consume meals.
• Soy is able to absorb the scented oils added during the pouring phase very well.
• It is completely non-toxic , it does not release CO2 into the air or toxic substances.
