Things to consider before buying Soy Candles

If you are looking for Soy Candles or Strong Scented Soy Candles, at that point, you have come to the right place. Here you can get the best Strong Scented Soy Candles at an affordable price. Soy candles are the safest type of candles to burn in homes with children. You can burn soy wax candles without fear of curious little fingers tipping wax onto your favorite tablecloth, as any soy wax spillages can easily be washed out using just soap and water.

When buying one of the strong scented soy candles you should expect the following:

Clean Burn

This is one of the strong points of any good soy candle over paraffin candles. Good quality natural soy candles should be burning cleanly for you without soot or smoke and they should not be tunneling, i.e. there should be no waxy residue left on side of the glass. When a soy candle is nearly burnt down, you will notice that the good ones still do not smoke or soot but the lesser ones will and you may notice some soot appearing along the top of the glass.

A further symbol of a strong scented soy candle is that the wick does not build up a glowing 'mushroom' head. Previously, you may have seen that a few candles develop red glowing bubble or head that eventually drops off into the wax to make an unsightly mess in the wax. This happens usually because something in the engineering of the candle is not quite right (the wick, the fragrance, some additives, etc.). However, here at La Soy Candles, we do not accept this in our candles, as we strive to only make the best natural candles.

100% Natural & Eco-Friendly

Our quality Strong Scented Soy Candles are made from 100% natural soy wax without any synthetic or petroleum-derived added substances. These added substances are not necessary and yet many candle companies mix soy wax into a paraffin wax candle.

This is for the benefit of being able to claim 'natural' or 'soy candle' but also to keep the price of the candle competitive. Thus, if you see a soy candle that is very cheap, the chances increase that it will contain paraffin or another synthetic wax.

At La Soy Candles, we commit to you never to compromise on quality and our natural wax candles are made from 100% natural waxes. In other words, we do not add paraffin to our candles.

Strong Perfume

Whenever there is a valid criticism of soy candles then it is the lack of 'fragrance bloom', in other words, many people find that the fragrance from a soy candle is not particularly strong.

The reasons are easily explained: soy wax has a lower melt-point than paraffin and the cooler the molten wax, the less perfume evaporates. The melt-point of soy wax is around 35-55 degrees Celsius whereas paraffin wax is at 55-70 deg C. This difference does not seem much but it becomes most significant when you consider that for every 10 degrees Celsius you double the amount of perfume which evaporates.

We never compromise like this on quality. Instead, we use a combination of all three solutions outlined above to ensure our soy candles infuse your home with a beautifully strong perfume. Simply call us at 310-507-1992.
