Hello! I make my candles with all natural soy and also palm waxes because it's natural and also helps the farmers as well. Do you prefer Soy Wax or Parafin Wax for your candles?

I have never heard of soy candles. What do you mean by soy candles? Where does the soy come from? I enjoy making my own bees wax candles from the already prepared bees wax sheets at the craft store. Have you heard of bees wax candles? If so do you think they burn as clean as the soy? Well honestly I feel like wow, I have never heard of soy candles. I am allergic to soy; as in eating soy products. It would be interesting to find out if I am allergic to soy candles.

Yes, I do make bees wax Candles also. Soy wax is made out of Soy Beans and I do that also as well as Palm wax...which is from Palm Seeds. All of them are all natural.

I like soy candles, I think the scent lasts longer,and they burn cleaner.
