Question: are yankee candles soy based?
Answer: The vast majority of Yankee Candles are made out of paraffin wax. ... While these are not "soy candles," they contain no paraffin wax and are a completely vegetable-based product, including some soy wax. This vegetable wax tends to be softer and messier than paraffin wax, so these types candles must be handled with care.
