Why 100% Natural Soy Wax (without additives) is Better for You—and the Planet
At The Richmond Candle Co., we believe that what you burn in your home matters. That’s why we use 100% natural soy wax—without additives—in every candle we hand-pour. But what exactly makes this choice so special? Let’s break it down.
🌱 Pure Simplicity
Our soy wax is exactly what it sounds like: pure, plant-based, and free from any synthetic additives or dyes. It’s made from soybeans—a renewable, biodegradable crop—and processed minimally to retain its clean-burning, eco-friendly qualities.
By avoiding additives, we ensure you're getting a candle that burns clean and true. No chemical enhancers, no unnecessary extras—just nature, carefully crafted into something beautiful.
💨 Cleaner Burn, Healthier Home
One of the biggest benefits of natural soy wax is how cleanly it burns. This means:
-
Less indoor air pollution
-
Reduced risk of black soot staining your walls or furniture
-
A better option for those with sensitivities or allergies
With our candles, you can relax knowing your home stays as pure as your scent.
🔥 Longer Burn Time = Better Value
Soy wax burns at a lower temperature than many other waxes, which means our candles last longer—up to 30–50% longer than paraffin alternatives. And because we don’t use additives to artificially change burn behaviour, you’re getting a candle that performs naturally, exactly as intended.
Longer burn time + cleaner ingredients = a candle that’s kinder to your wallet and your wellbeing.
🌎 Sustainability, Without Compromise
Using 100% soy wax supports sustainable agriculture and reduces dependence on fossil fuels. Our soy is responsibly sourced, and every jar is poured with care in our studio using low-waste, recyclable packaging.
We also run a recycling initiative: return your empty jars, and we’ll reuse them—giving your candle life well beyond the flame.
✨ Just the Good Stuff
Choosing a candle might seem like a small decision, but when it comes to what you bring into your space, ingredients matter. That’s why we’ve committed to transparency, integrity, and the simplicity of nature—no additives, no compromises.
Because when you light one of our candles, you deserve to know exactly what you’re breathing in—and to feel good about it.
