There’s just something about lighting a candle. Maybe it’s the warm glow. Maybe it’s the calm scent in the air. Or maybe it’s how it makes a regular evening feel a little more cozy and peaceful. Whether you’re relaxing, working, or setting the mood, a candle can really change the vibe in a room. Nowadays, candles are more than just a decorative item.
But here’s something most people don’t think about: what the candle is actually made of? We mainly choose candles based on their smell or how aesthetically does they look, without knowing much about the wax. And it turns out that wax can impact not just our home environment, but on our health and the planet as well? Not getting? In this blog, we’re going to explain to you how wax is important in candle making and what you should buy.
Why the Type of Wax Really Matters?

Most of us pick candles based on the smell or how pretty they look. But the type of wax used in a candle can make a big difference. It affects how cleanly the candle burns, how long it lasts, and even what you’re breathing in while it’s lit.
A lot of candles today are made with paraffin wax, which is cheap and easy to use but not so great for your health or the environment. More and more people are now switching to organic soy wax, and once you know why, it’s easy to see the difference.
Here are the main reasons why organic soy wax is a healthier and better choice than paraffin wax:
-
Plant-Based vs. Petroleum-Based
Paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, the same fossil fuel used to make gasoline and motor oil. When you burn a paraffin candle, you’re essentially burning a petroleum product in your home.
Organic Soy wax, however, is made from hydrogenated soybean oil, which is a natural, renewable resource. Not only is it plant-based, but organic soy wax is also free from synthetic fertilisers and pesticides, making it a cleaner and more sustainable option from the ground up.
-
Cleaner Air Quality
According to some scientific studies, it has been found that burning paraffin wax can release harmful chemicals like benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde, all of which are connected to respiratory problems and even cancer in prolonged exposure. These are especially concerning in poorly ventilated spaces.
In contrast, organic soy wax burns much cleaner, producing significantly less soot and releasing no toxins. This means healthier indoor air, fewer black marks on walls, and a safer environment for everyone in your home.
-
Longer Burn Time
As soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin, it burns more slowly and evenly. This gives you more hours of burn time per candle, making it a more cost-effective choice in the long run. It also means your candle scent is released gradually, creating a more balanced aromatic experience.
-
Supports Sustainable Agriculture
When you buy soy wax candles (especially ones made with organic soy), you’re creating demand for soybeans. Many soybeans are grown by local and regional farmers, so this demand helps keep their farms running and supports their income.
Also, choosing organic soy wax encourages more farmers to grow soybeans using sustainable methods, without harmful chemicals. This helps the land stay healthy, protects local ecosystems, and reduces pollution. Looking for candles that actually care as much as you do? Ngifts has your back.

-
Better Fragrance Retention
Soy wax is known for its ability to hold and release fragrance more effectively. Whether you’re into lavender, sandalwood, or citrus, soy wax helps essential oils and natural scents shine through without being overpowered by chemical undertones, as often happens with paraffin.
-
Biodegradable and Easy to Clean
Ever accidentally dripped candle wax on your table or floor? With soy wax, you don’t have to worry about those stains, as it’s biodegradable and washes away easily with just warm water and soap. No harsh scrubbing needed! Plus, soy wax breaks down naturally over time, so it’s much kinder to the planet than paraffin, which can stick around in landfills for years and years.
Conclusion
So, next time you pick a candle, remember, it’s not just about the scent or how cute it looks on your shelf. The wax inside it is also important.
Organic soy wax isn’t just better for the planet, it’s better for your home, your health, and even your wallet (because who doesn’t love a candle that burns longer?). Plus, when you choose soy, you’re supporting local farmers and helping keep the environment happy.
