Why soy wax candles?

Why Soy Wax Is Superior – The Infinitely Special Difference

At Infinitely Special, every candle we hand pour is made with intention. When it came to choosing the perfect wax for our luxury collection, the answer was clear: soy wax.

There are many reasons why soy wax stands out from the rest, it’s 100% natural, eco-friendly, clean-burning, and offers an exceptional fragrance experience. Here’s why we choose soy wax, and why it makes all the difference in your candle experience.

🌱 100% Natural & Eco-Friendly

Soy wax is derived from soybeans, a renewable, plant-based resource that supports sustainable agriculture. Unlike paraffin wax, which is a by-product of petroleum (a non-renewable fossil fuel), soy wax is biodegradable and far safer for both you and the planet.

Spills? No stress. Soy wax cleans up easily with soap and water, no harsh chemicals required. Paraffin wax, on the other hand, is not biodegradable and often leaves behind a greasy residue that's difficult to remove.

When you choose soy, you're choosing a candle that’s gentle on your home and the environment.

Longer-Lasting Burn

One of soy wax’s most celebrated qualities is its longer burn time. With a lower melting point than paraffin, soy wax burns cooler and more evenly, meaning your candle lasts longer, giving you more hours of luxurious scent and soft ambience.

This slow, clean burn allows you to savour your candle without rushing the moment. It’s a small but significant difference that adds true value to every burn.

Clean Burning – Better for You & Your Space

Our soy candles are non-toxic, free from petroleum, parabens, and phthalates, making them a healthier choice for your home. They don’t release harmful pollutants or black soot, which means better air quality and less risk of triggering allergies, asthma, or headaches.

Soy wax burns beautifully, releasing a clean flame that complements the luxury and wellness we stand for.

Superior Fragrance Throw

The real magic of a candle lies in its scent, and soy wax delivers it beautifully. With its lower melting point, soy wax creates a larger melt pool around the wick, which releases fragrance more effectively.

Whether it’s the soft aroma that fills the room unlit (cold throw) or the immersive scent experience once lit (hot throw), soy wax offers a pure, balanced fragrance expression, just as the perfumer intended.

What Influences Fragrance Throw?

Crafting the perfect candle isn’t just about the wax, it's also about precision. Here’s what we consider to ensure every Infinitely Special candle delivers a powerful scent experience:

✔ Wax Quality

Natural soy wax emits a more authentic scent than paraffin, which can have a chemical undertone. We only use high-grade soy wax that enhances the purity of every fragrance.

✔ Flashpoint & Temperature Control

The flashpoint is the temperature at which fragrance oils start to break down. We carefully manage the temperature when blending oils with wax to ensure optimal scent retention and bonding.

✔ Fragrance Load

Every wax type can hold a certain percentage of fragrance oil. We work with expert-formulated, candle-safe oils and fine-tune the ratios to deliver the strongest throw without compromising burn quality.

✔ Fragrance Selection

Not all fragrance oils perform well in soy wax. That’s why we only work with oils that are proven to have excellent compatibility with soy — ensuring each scent performs to its full potential.

Why We Choose Soy Wax — Always!

Every decision we make at Infinitely Special is rooted in craftsmanship, sustainability, and quality. Using soy wax aligns with our core values and our desire to create products that are kind to your body, your space, and the earth.

So when you light one of our candles, you’re not just enjoying a beautiful scent, you’re embracing a cleaner, safer, and more luxurious candle experience.

Make your moments Infinitely Special — naturally.
