Overview of soy wax
Soy wax is a processed form of soybean oil. Soy candles are usually made from soy waxes. These candles are mostly container candles, as soy waxes have a lower melting point compared to traditional ones. Soy wax is typically softer than paraffin wax. The process of making soy wax may also involve blending with other natural oils or waxes to attain additional desired properties.
