Hey there, candle enthusiasts! ๐ฏ๏ธ Today, Iโm excited to dive into why soy wax is an absolute game-changer and why we swear by it when crafting all of our soy wax candles and delicious soy melts that we all love. ๐
Let's kick things off with a big shout-out to Mother Earth. ๐ Soy wax is like her favourite child because it's eco-friendly through and through! Crafted from soybeans, it's renewable, biodegradable, and significantly reduces our carbon footprint. Say goodbye to the guilt of contributing to fossil fuel consumption because every time you light up one of our soy wax candles or melts, you're choosing sustainability without compromising on quality or ambiance.
Now, let's talk about the air we breathe. ๐ฟ Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin, releasing fewer toxins like benzene into your space. That means not only are you creating a cozy atmosphere, but you're also keeping your lungs happy and your vibes positive. It's a win-win for your well-being and the environment.
ย 
And let's talk about longevity, shall we? ๐ช Soy wax is like the marathon runner of the wax world. It can outlast its paraffin counterparts, giving you more hours of delightful scent. Imagine extending those peaceful moments just a little bit longer, all thanks to soy wax's slow and steady burn.
ย 
Now, let's indulge our sense of smell. ๐ Ah, the scent-sational world of soy wax! It has an incredible scent throw that effortlessly fills your space with captivating aromas. Whether you're into floral notes, cozy spices, or fresh citrus bursts, soy wax carries those fragrances beautifully without overwhelming your senses. It's like getting a warm, fragrant hug every time you light a soy wax candle or melt a soy wax melt.
ย 
But wait, there's more! Soy wax isn't just wax; it's a symbol of eco-consciousness, health advocacy, artistic expression, and community support. It's about making choices that resonate with our values and contribute positively to the world around us. So go ahead, light up those soy wax candles, melt those soy wax melts and let's bask in the glow of a brighter, greener future! ๐
Have a soaper day!
Sulphur City Soapery hot tip:
Use old soy wax to make eco friendly zero waste fire starters!
What you'll need
- Old soy wax
- Cardboard egg carton, paper muffin cups, any other cardboard/ thick paper that could hold the wax.
Additional items if you'd like them to be fancy
- Cinnamon quills
-Rosemary, Thyme, Lavender, any other herbs from the garden.
-Clovesย
Process
Melt the wax in a microwave safe bowl or in a pot on the stove. Keeping in mind the wax will not wash out you'll have to wipe out the vessel with paper towels ( which can then be screwed up and used in the fire lighters). Best not to use your favourite pot for this.
If you are adding any botanicals do this now before pouring the wax.
If you're just making the un fancy type pour the melted wax into the cardboard/ paper product of your choice and wait for them to set.
Once they set and cool they are ready to use.
