The Benefits of Soy Wax

100% Natural & Vegan

Soy wax is 100% natural and derived from Soy beans that grow easily in many regions. This is in contrast to traditional paraffin wax which is made from petroleum, coal or oil shale. Our Soy wax is 100% Vegan and not tested on Animals.

Cleaner Burning

Zero toxins, carcinogens or pollutants mean that soy wax is less likely to trigger allergies. Soy wax is much healthier for us as it doesn't emit any nasties into our atmosphere unlike non-renewable parrafin waxes that can contain carcinogenic substances which are harmful to our bodies. Natural soy wax is a much safer way of indulging in a candle.

Sustainable & kind to the planet

As Soy wax is plant based and is derived from the fast growing Soy Bean plant, it is both renewable & sustainable making it far kinder to the environment than animal & fossil based products like Parrafin.

Biodegradable & water soluble

Since soybeans are a vegetable, soy wax is naturally biodegradable. This makes accidental spills easier to clean up and the disposal of these products safe for the environment.

Longer Lasting

Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax. This means that soy wax burns cooler and will last longer than paraffin candles. An extended candle life means that you can enjoy delicious scents for much longer.

Stronger Smelling

A candle's scent is emitted into the air from the wax pool that surrounds the wick. Because the melting point of soy wax is lower than paraffin, this means that there is usually a larger pool around the wick, resulting in a much stronger aroma. This of course varies upon the Soy wax used and the manufacturers production methods.

Our Soy Wax manufacturer & why we chose them?

There are a multitude of Soy waxes on the market and while Soy wax is essentially a sustainable option there are many factors that can effect the companies overall integrity which can result in vastly different qualities, prices and impacts on the environment.

We have chosen our Soy Wax manufacturer based on their commitment to sustainability with targets to become 100% verified deforestation free by 2025, they have partnered with Proforest, a global organisation that maps the companies supply, holding them accountable to deliver positive outcomes for people, nature & climate.

They are actively reducing waste & water consumption & increasing their renewable energy take up and are constantly looking to drive positive change both with regard to biodiversity and human rights. All of these things are extremely important to us at Mojo and their dedication in this space and their transparency is one of the many reasons we selected them as our Wax manufacturer.

Mojo's Soy wax is made from the oil of soybeans that are harvested, cleaned, cracked, adjusted for moisture content and then de-hulled before being rolled into flakes to have their oil extracted. The Soybean meal and remaining husks are commonly used in soy based foods or animal feed leaving very little waste.

Our premium soy wax is made using a complex, precision hydrogenation process that means it does not need to be blended with paraffin waxes nor does it require additives to achieve the desired scent throw.

China, US, Brazil, Argentina & India are the top 5 Soy producers in the world and while some of these countriies supply relatively cheap soy waxes we have committed to a soy wax entirely grown and made in the US based on the company's commitment to sustainability, quality & ethics.

Mojo's Soy Wax has an opaque, creamy, semi matte finish unlike many inferior soy waxes that can appear bumpy or crater-like.

Many Candle brands promote their products as being Soy when in fact they often blend their Soy with Paraffin and/or additives for stability, to avoid frosting, improve glass adhesion, to achieve a better scent throw and to cut costs & improve margins. If ever you're unsure simply ask the candle maker if they use additives or blend their wax with anything else.
