Why Coconut Soy Wax? The Health Wellness Benefits of Clean-Burning Candles.

Why Coconut Soy Wax? The Health Wellness Benefits of Clean-Burning Candles.

When it comes to filling your home with warmth and fragrance, not all candles are created equal. At Sentimental Flames, our journey began with a simple question: How can we create beautiful, memory-evoking candles that are safe for our families?
What Is Coconut Soy Wax?
Coconut soy wax is a natural blend made from coconut oil and soybeans. Unlike traditional paraffin wax (a byproduct of petroleum), coconut soy is plant-based, biodegradable, and non-toxic. This means you can enjoy your favorite scents without worrying about harmful chemicals in the air.
Why Does Wax Type Matter?
  • Healthier Air Quality: Coconut soy candles burn clean, producing minimal soot and no toxic fumes. This makes them a safer choice for homes with kids and pets.
  • Longer Burn Time: Our candles last 25–50 hours—much longer than paraffin alternatives—so you get more cozy moments per candle.
  • Better Scent Throw: Coconut soy wax holds fragrance beautifully, filling your home with evocative scents that linger.
  • Eco-Friendly: Our wax is sourced from renewable crops and is fully biodegradable, making it kinder to the environment.
Our Commitment to Clean Candles
Every Sentimental Flames candle is handmade with coconut soy wax and eco-friendly fragrance oils. We source only non-toxic, clean-burning ingredients—backed by supplier certificates—so you can light up your space with confidence.
Why We Don’t Use Paraffin
Paraffin wax can release potentially harmful chemicals when burned. After learning about these risks, we made a promise to offer only non-toxic alternatives—so our candles are as safe as they are nostalgic.
