Soy wax candles have many benefits: they are safe for use in cosmetics and massage, have a creamy consistency and a pleasant smell, do not leave black soot when burning, are environmentally friendly, do not stain clothes or furniture, and are easy to clean with warm water and soap. It is no surprise that soy candles make up more than half of the candles on the market today.
Coconut wax candles have their own benefits: they emit the strongest aroma, are easy to dye, coconut wax candles burn cleaner, brighter and longer, and have a smooth and creamy texture, which gives the candles an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
