How Do Soy Candles Support A Healthier Home Environment?

The soft glow of a candle shouldn’t come with a scratchy throat. We dig into the surprising truth behind wax choices, wick design, and fragrance load so your cozy ritual supports cleaner air instead of filling your space with soot and irritants. Trang Nguyen, maker behind CVA Products, compares paraffin, soy, beeswax, and coconut, unpacking why a label that says “soy blend” doesn’t always mean what you think and how allergies and asthma can flare when the wrong materials meet an overloaded scent.

We walk through practical, shopper-ready tips: how to tell if a candle is truly 100 percent soy, why beeswax burns long and clean, and when coconut works for performance but not for households with coconut sensitivities. You’ll hear why soot isn’t just a wax problem but also a wick problem, how cotton and engineered wood wicks behave differently, and the simple burn habits that set memory, prevent tunneling, and keep smoke to a minimum. Along the way we demystify fragrance: supplier-recommended percentages for soy (often 10 to 12 percent), the risks of cranking up the load to chase a stronger scent, and an easy market test for spotting candles that are too overpowering before you even pick up a jar.

If you care about air quality, have kids or teens with sensitivities, or just want a calm home without chemical fog, this guide arms you with questions to ask and labels to decode. Learn to choose materials that fit your values, avoid triggers that sneak up over time, and make every burn session slower, cleaner, and more enjoyable.
