Pure soy and soy wax blend: The choice you make matters as much as the scent. Both offer unique benefits, yet understanding the differences helps you make the right choice for your space.
Pure soy candles use 100% natural soybean oil. Because of this, they burn cleanly and release very little soot. They also last longer, since soy wax burns at a lower temperature. In addition, pure soy carries fragrance well but creates a softer, more natural scent throw. If you value sustainability, this option stands out because it is renewable and biodegradable.
On the other hand, soy/paraffin blend candles combine natural soybean oil with refined paraffin. This mix produces a stronger fragrance throw, filling a room more quickly. The blend also allows for brighter colors and smoother finishes. Many candle makers use blends when they want a balance between affordability and performance. However, paraffin does come from petroleum, making it less eco-friendly than pure soy.
When you choose our candles, pure soy and soy wax blend, you receive more than just fragrance. Every candle is hand poured with care into a hand made cement vessel. These vessels are not only beautiful but also reusable long after the wax is gone. From holding succulents to storing desk supplies, they transform into lasting home décor pieces.
Ultimately, the decision between pure soy and soy-blend depends on your priorities. If you want the cleanest, most sustainable burn, pure soy is the best choice. But if you prefer a stronger scent throw and vivid finish, soy/paraffin blends may suit you better. Either way, you’ll enjoy a candle that is both thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented.

With hand poured wax and reusable cement vessels, our candles offer lasting value far beyond their flame.
NOTE: Silversun Candle Co proudly hand makes all of our signature concrete jar candles using a proprietary method and hand pours each candle. The final finish of each jar will vary from piece to piece. The jar is concrete. It is therefore reusable for multiple applications. We seal the interior with a non-toxic, eco-friendly sealer that is safe for use as a planter. However, do not use the empty vessel as a container for human food or drink.
Do NOT use empty vessel to eat or drink from
