Why We Use Soy Wax in Our Hand-Poured Tin Candles
At Kernowfornia Soul® Sandle Co, we hand pour each of our candles in our small studio in Cornwall, using 100% soy wax as our base for a clean, eco-friendly burn. But why soy wax? And what makes our soy scented candles so special? Let’s dive in.
What Makes Soy Wax So Special?
Soy wax is a natural, plant-based wax made from soybeans. It’s a renewable resource that offers a cleaner alternative to paraffin wax (often advertised as "mineral wax") which is derived from petroleum. For us, choosing soy candles was an easy decision—it aligns with our values of sustainability, quality, and care.
Why We Use Soy Wax in Our Tin Candles
1. Clean, Even Burn
Our soy scented candles burn cleaner, with little to no soot. That means better air quality in your home, and no black marks on your candle tin.
2. Long-Lasting Glow
Soy wax burns more slowly than traditional waxes, giving you more hours of beautiful fragrance and cozy ambiance.
3. Incredible Scent Throw
Our hand poured candles are designed to fill your space with rich, balanced aromas. Soy wax holds fragrance oils exceptionally well, giving you a consistent scent from start to finish.
4. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable
We care about what we create and how we create it. Using soy wax supports sustainable agriculture and reduces our environmental footprint—something we’re proud to stand behind here in Cornwall.
5. Easy Cleanup
Spilled wax? No worries. Soy wax is water-soluble and easy to clean with soap and warm water.
Handmade in Cornwall, Poured with Purpose
Each candle is hand poured in Cornwall, in small batches, using carefully selected fragrance blends and premium soy wax. Our process is slow, intentional, and rooted in a love for craftsmanship. Whether you're gifting or treating yourself, you're choosing a product made with heart.
