The smooth and creamy appearance of the natural soy wax is mainly due to its low melt point and this also helps in reducing frosting. Besides being able to hold a lot of scent, they also release a lot of fragrance when burnt to fill the atmosphere with subtle notes.
While I was researching we ran into the query “Does soy wax have a smell?”.
Soy wax candles generally have a subtler scent throw as soy wax doesn’t hold as much fragrance – many people prefer this softer scent, but it comes down to how delicate your nose is! We’ll discuss the intricacies of everybody’s smell systems in a future blog post.
The set comprises of 6 fragrances: Harvest Spice, Cinnamon, Coffee Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Ginger Bread, and Apple Cider. Six warm and premium fragrant oils. Highly concentrated and enhanced formulations. Can be used for soy candles, soap bases, haircare, and body care formulations. Smells great and works perfectly in a diffuser, and more items.
Do soy candles have fragrance?
The release of fragrance without burning the soy candles is also a lot less. I compare it for example with the wax pottery bowls I feature as well and they fragrance a room way more than our soy candles even though we put less fragrance in them when pouring the wax. Anyway, good luck with your soy candles, you might need patience as soy is tricky.
Does soy wax go bad?
Since soy wax is super hydrogenated soybean oil (like Crisco), yes, it can go bad. Did it smell funny or look a little semi-transluscent (like Crisco that’s been on the shelf too long)? It should be stored airtight at reasonable room temp .
Is coconut wax better than soy wax?
Coconut wax is better than soy wax because coconuts are more sustainably grown. The soybean industry contributes to massive deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. Soybeans are also grown using more pesticides.
This happens because paraffin is a little lighter than soy. It can capture more fragrance and then deliver more of it as well because it burns faster. But soy wax isn’t too far behind. Being a little denser, it burns slower but still manages to capture a lot of fragrance. But of course, it does not throw as much scent as paraffin wax.
Discovered in 1991 as an alternative to paraffin wax. Natural, renewable, non-toxic and biodegradable. Hydrogenated form of soybean oilAvailable in flake form and has an off-white appearance. Has a lower melting point than paraffin. Commercial soy wax blends tend to be softer than paraffin and will melt in warm weather, and more items.
Does soy wax grow on trees?
Soy wax doesn’t grow on trees. Soy (one of soy wax’s constituent materials) is natural – if it isn’t GM soy, or hasn’t been planted in the place of natural rain-forest that was formed over hundreds of years. Nearly all candles contain some paraffin to help them burn, along with other material or chemicals to add or hold scents and improve burning.
Is soy wax natural or synthetic?
