Natural Soy Wax: What Makes Ours Truly Special
Candles are more than ambiance, they’re part of your everyday environment. That’s why what they’re made of matters. At Mimi & August, we believe every candle should be safe to burn, beautiful to experience, and kind to the planet.
That’s why we use only 100% natural soy wax in all our candles. No blends, no fillers, and absolutely no paraffin. Here’s what makes our soy wax different and why it makes all the difference for your home.
What Is Natural Soy Wax?
Soy wax is a plant-based wax made by extracting and hydrogenating soybean oil. This process turns liquid oil into a soft, creamy solid that melts cleanly, carries fragrance well, and burns slower than many other waxes.
Because it’s derived from soybeans, it’s a renewable, biodegradable resource. A much more sustainable choice compared to petroleum-based waxes.
Why We Choose Soy Wax Over Everything Else
Cleaner Indoor Air Quality
Unlike paraffin, which releases soot and potentially harmful compounds when burned, soy wax offers a cleaner combustion. It produces little to no soot, which means better air quality in your space especially important if you have pets, kids, or allergies.
Longer, More Even Burn
Soy wax has a lower melting point, allowing it to melt evenly and slowly. This means:
- Less tunneling
- More burn hours per candle
- More consistent fragrance release
Safe, Non-Toxic & Worry-Free
Our soy wax is free of parabens, phthalates, and toxic additives. Combined with natural hemp-core wicks, our candles are designed to give you peace of mind with every burn.
