Walk into any store and you will find candles of every shape and scent. But not all candles are created equal. The wax inside makes a huge difference — for your health, your home, and the environment. At Simple Candle, we use only natural soy wax and beeswax. Here is why it matters.
What Is Paraffin Wax?
Paraffin is a by-product of petroleum refining. It is cheap, widely used, and unfortunately the default choice for most mass-produced candles. When burned, paraffin releases toxic chemicals including toluene and benzene — the same compounds found in diesel exhaust.
For a candle you burn in an enclosed room, this matters.
Why Soy Wax Is Better
- Clean burn — no toxic soot or carcinogens
- Longer lasting — soy burns 30–50% longer than paraffin
- Better scent throw — releases fragrance more evenly
- Biodegradable — better for the environment
- Easy cleanup — soy wax cleans with soap and water
And Natural Beeswax?
Beeswax is the premium choice. It burns the longest, produces a natural honey scent, and actually purifies the air by releasing negative ions that neutralize pollutants. Simple Candle uses both soy and beeswax so you can choose the base that suits you best.
Our Fragrances Are Certified Too
The scent is just as important as the wax. At Simple Candle, all fragrances are 100% imported from the USA with safety certifications. No synthetic fillers, no mystery ingredients.
