Why We Choose Soy: The Benefits of Candles Made from American-Grown Soybeans
When it comes to candles, not all waxes are created equal. At Foxeur, we believe what goes into your candles matters just as much as how they smell and look. That’s why we proudly use 100% soy wax derived from American-grown soybeans — a clean, sustainable, and eco-conscious choice that benefits both you and the planet.
Here’s why soy wax stands out, and why we’re committed to supporting American agriculture through every candle we pour:
🌿 1. Clean Burning = Cleaner Air
One of the biggest perks of soy wax? It burns cleaner than traditional paraffin wax, which is petroleum-based and known to release soot and toxins into the air. Soy wax creates minimal soot, making it a healthier option for your home and indoor air quality — especially important if you have pets, kids, or sensitive lungs.
🕯️ 2. Longer-Lasting Burn
Soy wax burns at a cooler temperature, meaning your candle will last longer — giving you more hours of your favorite scent and better value for your money. That slower burn rate also means fragrance is released gradually, creating a consistent, more enjoyable aroma throughout its life.
🇺🇸 3. Made from American-Grown Soybeans
Our soy wax is sourced from U.S. farms, supporting local farmers and reducing the environmental impact of long-distance importing. By using American-grown soy, we're keeping supply chains shorter, supporting the economy, and helping maintain sustainable farming practices right here at home.
🌎 4. Renewable & Biodegradable
Unlike paraffin, which is a non-renewable fossil fuel product, soy is a renewable resource that’s biodegradable. When you choose soy wax, you're making a choice that’s gentler on the earth — reducing your carbon footprint while still enjoying high-quality, beautiful candles.
💧 5. Easy to Clean
Accidentally spilled wax? No problem. Soy wax is water-soluble, which means it’s easy to clean up with just warm water and soap — no harsh chemicals needed.
👃 6. Better Fragrance Throw
Thanks to its smooth, even burn and natural composition, soy wax holds fragrance oils beautifully. The result is a balanced scent throw that doesn’t overpower the room but lingers gently in the background — creating a cozy, intentional atmosphere.
Final Thoughts
Soy wax is more than just a trend — it’s a smart, sustainable choice that benefits your health, your home, and your community. By choosing candles made with American-grown soybeans, you're supporting clean air, sustainable agriculture, and mindful living.
Light up with purpose.
