Wholesale Coconut Soy Wax Candles

Candles are not just a thing of the past, their uses have evolved from lighting devices to pleasure products. A rising trend exists in the use of decorative candles and scented candles. These products are favored especially during holidays and special occasions, or just for daily relaxation purposes. What goes into our coconut Soy Wax candles?

Of course, as the name suggests, these candles are made from Soy Wax. Why Soy Wax you may ask? Why not Soy Wax? Alternative materials used in industrial production of candles are namely Paraffin Wax, Bee Wax, and Coconut Wax. Each has its own unique benefits and drawbacks. 

Paraffin Wax

Paraffin Wax is the most commonly used wax in industrial manufacturing. Made from petroleum, coal, or oil shale, paraffin wax is a byproduct of petroleum refining. Paraffin Wax Candles are cheap to make and have an aesthetic appearance. However, there is an increasing concern regarding the health effects of paraffin fumes. However, these claims have not been backed by sufficient notable evidence. The reduction in the demand for paraffin wax in recent years is due to rising concerns regarding their sustainability.

Bee Wax

Produced from honey bees of the genus Apis, this type of wax is more natural but less sustainable. By harvesting the bee wax, you weaken the immunity of the beehive making them more susceptible to illnesses. So this practice needs to be more regulated resulting in a limited input of bee wax for the candle industry.

Coconut Wax

This type of wax is made from cold pressed coconut meat or a mixture of coconut oil and soy wax. Cold-pressed coconut wax has comparatively inferior burn quality as compared to other types of wax. However, they are natural and are a beneficial part of the coconut industry which helps utilize most parts of a coconut. Coconut wax candles produce less soot and are comparatively less harmful to the environment.

Soy Wax

Soy Wax is made from soybean oil through the process of full hydrogenation. Soy Wax has a lower melting point compared to other types of wax. The wax is one of the most sustainable types and produces very little soot. However, Soy Wax is softer than other types of wax and is mostly used to make container candles. Additional drawback of this type of wax is its lack of ability to contain fragrances. Soy Wax Candles wholesale usually have milder fragrances than paraffin blend ones.
