Why We Choose Soy Wax

Why We Choose Soy Wax

 

At Cando, every choice is intentional - including the wax we use.

 

A natural and renewable resource

Soy wax is made from soybeans, a sustainable crop grown around the world. They require less water, fewer pesticides and can be farmed using environmentally responsible methods.

Soybeans are also nitrogen-fixing, meaning they naturally enrich the soil rather than deplete it. This makes soy wax one of the cleanest, most eco-friendly waxes available.

 

Cleaner burning, cleaner air

Soy wax is biodegradable and burns far cleaner than paraffin. It releases less soot, fewer toxins and helps maintain better indoor air quality, making our candle a safer choice for your home. 

Because soy wax melts at a lower temperature, our candles:

burn longer

burn more evenly

reduce the risk of overheating 

create a calmer, slower, more intentional experience

 

Less waste, more reuse

Candle containers often end up in landfills despite being recyclable. We aim to introduce a refill programme soon, allowing you to reuse your candle vessels and reduce waste.  

Here are a few thoughtful ways your candle vessel can find a second life in your home:

a pen or brush holder on your desk 

a makeup brush or beauty tool cup 

a tea light holder

a small planter 

a kitchen counter organiser 

Each vessel is designed to be filled and lived with - not thrown away. 

 

Our commitment 

We use only premium, ethically sources soy wax.

Choosing sow allows us to offer a candle that is:

better for the environment 

better for your home

better for you

Small choices make a meaningful difference and this is one we’re proud of.

 

Thank you for reading and for supporting a more sustainable living. 

 

With Love,

Cando
