Burn That Candle: Why Soy Candles Are Worth It

Stop Saving Candles for "Someday"

How many unburnt candles have you got stashed away in your closets right now? I bet more than you can count on one hand! 😊 This year I’ve been thinking about all the things we save for later or save for a special occasion and how that special day doesn’t come or someday is never today. I want to encourage you to ‘BURN THAT CANDLE!! Like in the title – especially if it is made with soy wax!

Why Soy Candles Are the Better Choice

Who knew there were so many different types of wax used to make candles? From soy wax (like we at Moss Hill) to palm wax, paraffin wax or beeswax, each has its place. But if you're looking for a non-toxic candle, soy wax stands out.

Eco-Friendly, Non-Toxic, and Clean Burning

Made from renewable soybean oil, soy candles are eco-friendly, biodegradable, and safe for everyday use. Even better, they're known for their clean burn, meaning no black soot on your walls or ceilings. 

A Real-Life Lesson on Candle Safety

I recall a time many years ago when I accidentally left a candle burning in my bathroom and not only was that a very poor and dangerous choice or more like a mistake. It was also a dirty mistake. When I discovered what I had done, thankfully with no fire in my house, I realized just how sooty, specifically paraffin candles can burn. Ewww! Fast forward many years ahead to now when I have been educated on the benefits of clean-burning soy wax candles and I would have a hard time choosing any other type of wax, no matter how inexpensive it might be! 

The Perfect Gift: Custom and Hand-Poured Candles

Candles make one of the easiest and most thoughtful gifts. Whether you're creating a cozy moment for yourself or giving a custom candle to someone else, the right scent can transform a space.

Small-Batch Scents That Stand Out

At Moss Hill, our small-batch soy candles come in curated scents like Kentucky Girl®, Southern Warmth® or Sunshine, perfect for gifting or everyday enjoyment. 

A Safer Way to Enjoy Candles

Thinking of safety, I am reminded of that time I failed to blow out that sooty candle years ago. Pair your candle with one of our candle warmers for a  flameless option that still fills your space with beautiful fragrance. It's the perfect way to enjoy non-toxic, clean-burning candles without any worries.
