Most Candles Don't Burn Clean — Ours Do
Here at Glow House, we use 100% soy wax because we want candles that are cleaner and safer for our own homes — and yours. We love to use soy wax because it burns cooler and produces far less soot and smoke, meaning cleaner air, no black residue, and a fresher burn every time.
From Bean to Candle: Soy Wax
Soy wax is a natural, plant-based wax made from soybean oil. After the beans are harvested and pressed, the oil is refined into the clean, smooth wax used in our candles. Because it comes from a renewable crop, soy wax is more eco-friendly than petroleum-based paraffin and offers a cooler, cleaner, and longer burn for a healthier, more sustainable candle.
Why We Love Soy
- Cleaner Burn: Less soot and smoke for a fresher home.
- Longer-Lasting: Slow, even burn for more hours of fragrance and light.
- Better Fragrance: Consistently fills your space with inviting scents.
- Eco-Friendly & Natural: Made from renewable soybeans, free from harsh chemicals.
- Handcrafted with Care: Poured with love to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Soy vs Paraffin Wax
Many traditional candles are made from paraffin, synthetic, or other petroleum-based waxes making your home less clean and potentially affecting air quality and your health.
Paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, and when it burns, it can release more soot and tiny airborne particles into your home. This can leave black residue on walls, furniture, and candle jars, and may contribute to a less clean indoor environment. By choosing soy over paraffin, you’re opting for a safer, more natural candle that’s better for your home and the environment.
The Beauty of Natural Soy Wax
Soy wax has its own personality—creamy, soft, and beautifully natural. Because it isn’t packed with additives, you may notice slight frosting, tiny texture shifts, or subtle variations from candle to candle. These “imperfections” aren’t flaws at all—they’re signs of pure, authentic soy wax doing its thing. They show that your candle is made from real, plant-based wax, not a heavily processed blend. And best of all, these natural traits don’t affect how your candle burns—they just tell the honest story of a cleaner, more natural product.
Not all soy wax is created equal
—and ours is proof. We use only 100% pure soy wax sourced from trusted U.S. suppliers, and every batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis to verify that it contains no additives, fillers, or blends.
This ensures our customers receive a truly clean, high-quality wax that burns beautifully and stays true to our commitment to honesty and craftsmanship.
