Many of the so-called "soy" candles on today's market are actually a blend containing soy and paraffin or vegetable wax. Beanpod candles are made from 100% stabilized soy wax for a cleaner, more consistent burn.
Soy wax candles accommodate more fragrance on a by-weight basis than paraffin-based candles (10% vs. 6%)
Soy wax candles can burn up to 30% longer than paraffin-based candles and give you a much cleaner burn.
Soy wax does not burn as hot as paraffin wax, so soy wax candles require a thicker wick, which does not combust 100%. After each burn, trim the wick to 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch in length to minimize soot and remove any mushrooming of the wick left by the previous burn.
