1. Why Soy Wax 

Soy wax burns cleaner and slower than paraffin, holds fragrance well at lower temperatures, and comes from a renewable crop — why it has become the top choice for eco-positioned candle brands in the US and Europe.

  • Made from soybean oil — a renewable, biodegradable source
  • Burns cooler and roughly 30–50% slower than paraffin, for a longer burn per gram
  • Lower soot than paraffin
  • Holds and releases fragrance oil well at typical container-candle temperatures
  • Easier wax clean-up (water-soluble)
  • Preferred by US and EU retail buyers positioning a “clean-label” or eco-friendly product

2. Our Soy Candle Manufacturing Process

Every soy candle order runs through the same four stages, whether it is a 500-unit trial or a container-load repeat order.

  1. Consultation & brief — wax ratio (100% soy or a soy blend), jar/vessel, fragrance direction and target burn time
  2. Fragrance & wax formulation — we test fragrance load against your chosen soy wax to avoid frosting, sweating or weak scent throw
  3. Sample & approval — you receive physical samples before bulk production
  4. Bulk production & packaging — manufactured at our Bidadi facility (27 tonnes/day candle capacity), labeled and packed to your export specification

3. Soy Wax vs Other Waxes

We manufacture with soy, coconut and paraffin wax, and blend soy with coconut or a small paraffin ratio when a brand wants a firmer set or stronger hot throw.
