Why soy wax
Soy wax is made from soybeans, so it is a renewable material rather than a by-product of crude oil. It has a lower melting point than paraffin, which gives a slower, cleaner burn. We cover the difference in detail in soy versus paraffin candles.
Jar colours, including black
The Small Candle comes in Transparent Brown or Frosted White glass. The Medium Candle comes in Transparent Brown, Frosted White or Teal. The Large Candle is available in Brown, Teal or Black, so if you are looking for a black candle, the Large in Black is the one to ask for.
