    Soy wax has many benefits. Natural and eco-friendly, it is made from hydrogenated soybean oil, paraffin-free, pesticide-free and GMO-free, making it a healthy and sustainable alternative.

    Making soy wax candles is easy if you follow a few basic steps. Start by melting the wax by heating it to between 160 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit (71.1 and 93.3 degrees Celsius), stirring regularly to avoid overheating. It is important not to exceed 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93.3 degrees Celsius) to preserve the natural color of the wax. Once melted, add your essential oils, fragrances, or colorants and mix well. Wait for the wax to cool to between 120 and 165 degrees Fahrenheit (48.9 and 73.8 degrees Celsius) before pouring it into your containers. Make sure your jars or molds are at room temperature or slightly warm for better adhesion. Let your candles harden for at least 12 hours before using them.
