Handmade scented candles made from natural soy and coconut wax are gaining more and more fans, and for good reason. In this guide, we will see what makes them stand out from conventional paraffin candles, how to care for them to make them last longer, and how to choose the right scent for each space.
What is soy and coconut wax?
It is a vegetable wax produced from soy and coconut oil, without petroleum derivatives. At Lavoil, we combine it with a cotton wick and high-quality fragrances, handcrafting each candle in small batches in Kozani.
Why choose it over paraffin
- Clean burning: vegetable wax burns with less soot and no toxic fumes.
- Longer lasting: it burns slower than paraffin, so your candle lasts longer.
- Better scent throw: the fragrance is released evenly and subtly.
- Environmentally friendly: renewable raw materials, biodegradable material.
How to care for your candle
- On the first burn, let it burn until the entire surface has melted to avoid tunneling.
- Trim the wick to 5 millimeters before each use.
- Do not leave it lit for more than 4 hours.
- Store it away from direct sunlight.
Which scent suits your space?
For relaxation and sleep, try Lavender Fields with its lavender scent. For a summery, tropical mood, try Coco Mango Vibes, while for a warm winter atmosphere, try Chestnut Ember and Morning Coffee.
