Why soy wax candles are the better choice for your home
Kayla- Sonhe Collective on 18th Jul 2025
At Sonhe Collective, we believe luxury should be kind—to your senses, your space, and the planet. That’s why all our candles are made using natural soy wax, a choice that reflects both elegance and eco-consciousness.
But what makes soy wax the superior option compared to traditional paraffin or other waxes? Let’s dive into the benefits of soy candles and why they’re the heart of every hand-poured creation in the Sonhe Collection.
A Cleaner, Safer Burn
Soy wax is made from soybean oil, a natural, renewable resource. Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum (a fossil fuel), soy wax burns cleaner and produces little to no soot. This means a healthier environment in your home—no black marks on your walls or toxins in the air.
For homes filled with children, pets, or sensitive individuals, this is a simple switch that makes a big impact.
Longer-Lasting Candles
Soy wax burns at a lower temperature, which means your candle melts more slowly and evenly. This allows you to enjoy your favourite scent for longer—giving you more value and more time to unwind in your luxury-scented space.
At Sonhe Collective, every soy candle is thoughtfully crafted to provide hours of indulgent aroma, turning your home into your personal sanctuary.
A Better Scent Throw
Because of its natural composition, soy wax holds and releases fragrance beautifully. Whether you're burning one of our fresh, feminine florals or bold, masculine blends, soy wax delivers a consistent, luxurious aroma that fills the room without overpowering.
Each candle in the Sonhe Collection is designed to bring comfort and sophistication to your space—whether you're enjoying a quiet night in or hosting friends and family.
Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable
We believe in conscious luxury. Soy wax is biodegradable and far more sustainable than paraffin wax. By choosing soy, you’re supporting local farmers, reducing your carbon footprint, and making a responsible choice for the earth.
Pair that with our commitment to thoughtful packaging and cruelty-free practices, and you’ve got a product that not only smells good—but feels good too.
Choosing soy wax isn’t just a trend—it’s a return to natural, mindful living. At Sonhe Collective, we honour the beauty of simplicity, family, and sustainability in every candle we create.
So next time you light a Sonhe candle, you can feel good knowing you're embracing a cleaner, safer, and more luxurious way to scent your home.
Let your dreams burn bright—and clean.
