Why Choose Soy Wax Candles?

At AleRose Handmade Candles UK, we choose 100% soy wax for a simple reason: it helps you enjoy a cleaner, calmer burn and a more conscious product. Here are the key benefits for your home.

Cleaner Burn

Soy wax produces very little soot compared with paraffin, which helps keep your walls and jars cleaner and the air in your room fresher. Paired with lead-free cotton wicks, our candles are designed for an even, stable flame.

Longer Lasting

Soy melts at a lower temperature than paraffin, so it burns slowly and evenly. With the right wick care (trim to 5 mm before lighting), you’ll enjoy more hours of fragrance from every jar.

Better Ingredient Story

Soy is a renewable, plant-based wax. Ours is vegan and cruelty-free, and we avoid phthalates and unnecessary additives. For scent, we blend pure essential oils and high-quality aromas to create balanced fragrances that feel natural and refined.

Beautiful Cold & Hot Throw

Because soy melts gradually, you get a gentle “cold throw” when the candle is unlit and a smooth “hot throw” as it pools. That means the fragrance fills the room without feeling heavy or overpowering.

Easier Clean-up

Spills happen! Soy wax is biodegradable and can usually be cleaned from hard surfaces with warm soapy water—another small advantage over paraffin.
