Soy candles have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. Not only do they offer a longer burn time, but they also provide a cleaner and more sustainable option compared to traditional paraffin candles. But what exactly is the science behind a long-lasting soy candle? The secret lies in the composition of soy wax. Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, soy wax is made from soybean oil. This natural ingredient allows soy candles to burn at a lower temperature, resulting in a slower and more even burn. The lower melting point of soy wax means that it takes longer for the candle to liquefy and release its fragrance. This slow burn not only extends the candle's lifespan but also ensures that the scent is gradually released, creating a more pleasant and long-lasting aroma. In addition to their longer burn time, soy candles also have a lower carbon emission compared to paraffin candles. When burned, paraffin candles release soot and toxins into the air, which can be harmful to both your health and the environment. Soy candles, on the other hand, produce minimal soot and toxins, making them a healthier choice for you and the planet. Another factor that contributes to the longevity of soy candles is the use of double wicks. Aura Fragrance offers large double wick 14oz candles, which provide a more even burn and distribute the heat evenly across the surface of the candle. This prevents tunnelling and ensures that the entire candle is utilized, maximizing its burn time. At Aura Fragrance, we take pride in delivering high-quality handmade soy candles to our customers. Our candles are not only vegan but also crafted with precision and care. We offer a wide range of scents and sizes, including travel tins, small 10oz candles, and large double wick 14oz candles.
