About Our Soy Candles

The Art Cave uses soy wax for our candle products, and all our fragrances are made to IFRA standards and are Phthalate free.

With the ever-growing concerns of having eco-friendly and safe ingredients in products that are around us, making your own candles becomes an even better option. Many of the candle companies have adapted to the changing of times and are now using these ingredients more often but you still can never know for sure unless you make it yourself.

Why choose soy wax?

Soy wax is made from environmentally friendly, renewable resources; whereas classic paraffin wax is made from petroleum and is non-renewable.  Not only are there “green” advantages to choosing soy wax over a different type of candle wax, but soy wax also burns slower than paraffin wax, meaning you get a candle that lasts longer.  While all candles emit some black soot while burning, candles made from soy wax burns cleaner and results in less soot. Another reason to choose soy wax when it comes to candles is the fact that soy wax is an excellent fragrance carrier that does not require chemical amplifiers.  The result is a well-balanced true to scent candle. 

Fragrance Oil

To ensure the best performance possible in your candle range, our candle fragrance oils are designed and developed in Sydney, Australia and are completely vegan/ cruelty-free. As they are produced specifically as a candle making and soap making supply, they are synthetic in substance to ensure the best performance when used in soy, palm or paraffin wax, Reed Diffusers and body products. Many of our fragrance oils do contain a high percentage of essential oils for an accurate and natural scent.
