Soy Candles

Effortlessly chic and perfectly giftable, scented candles are a go-to home decor essential for a reason. Alongside traditional wax candles, soy candles are an increasingly popular option that you can find in many of the same iterations as the original version, thanks to a spectrum of scents, colors, shapes, and sizes. Whether you prefer a fragrance that evokes a certain mood (like candles that trigger smell memories of certain seasons, places, or holidays) or literal notes like orange, cinnamon, or a bouquet, there's a host of soy candles to match.  

Pro tip: When you shop for candles & home fragrance staples, you'd be remiss to forget accessories like wick trimmers and flame snuffers, which can help to prolong the life of your aroma candles. 

What are the Benefits of Soy Wax Candles?
Soy candles are made with vegetable wax and are known for having a lower melting point. Therefore, the best soy candles typically burn cooler, meaning they last longer than other candle styles. They're also considered gentler than alternative waxes, so they're great for people with allergies or sensitivities to air quality—even scented soy candles. 

Different Styles of Soy Candles
From votive candles to glass containers to tea lights to those that come with their own candle holders, soy candles span the classic designs you've come to expect—but there are a few surprises, too, like fruit- and character-shaped candles or scented candles poured into ornamental teacups or decorative glass jars you can reuse once the wax has melted away. Likewise, fans of natural scented candles can enjoy more of their favorite with multipack sets. Want to skip the open flame? Consider wax melts & warmers. Soy candle wax melts come in a wide array of scents that usually last a bit longer than regular candles due to the amount of time it takes for the wax to heat up.
