Beeswax and soy candles differ in the type of wax used to create them. Bee's wax is naturally produced when bees make honeycombs that store their honey. After honey is harvested, the spent honeycombs are melted down and reprocessed into beeswax. Soy wax is created from sustainable and renewable hydrogenated soybean oil. Both wax bases are well suited for candle production. Soy candles cost significantly less than beeswax due to more availability of quality materials, and they are less difficult to harvest, which consumes less energy. Both waxes absorb and release fragrance oils well. Beeswax tends to have a more 'wax' scent when raw, while soy wax has a nut-like raw scent. We choose to use soy wax in our candles because it is natural and vegan, provides a superior quality burn, it holds fragrance well in most temperatures, and it is best suited for our types of containers.
