Behind the Scent: The Benefits of Soy Wax Candles

Here at Aery, we aim to create consciously, that’s why all our products are vegan, cruelty-free and sustainably made. One way we keep our flames green is by using soy wax. We understand that these words get thrown around a lot and you might be wondering what exactly we mean when we say we are sustainable. So we’re taking you behind the scent, and delving into everything that goes into our scented candles.

Unlike traditional paraffin candles, which are made from petroleum-based wax, all our candles are crafted from 100% plant-based soy wax which is derived from soybeans. This means they burn cleaner and produce significantly less soot and chemicals, making them a healthier choice for both you and the environment.

While being free from paraffin, our scented candles are also free of GMO and palm oil. Meaning they are non-toxic and a renewable and biodegradable resource. Allowing us to support sustainable agriculture and reduce our carbon footprint. It's a win-win for both you and the planet. We've considered everything right down to the wick, selecting lead-free cotton - so you can enjoy a clean, longer lasting burn.

Last but not least our unique fragrances have been crafted using naturally derived essential oils and non-toxic fragrance oils. Environmentally derived fragrance oils are better for the planet avoiding mass farming of certain plants and flowers. All our fragrances are free from harmful chemicals like phthalates, parabens and formaldehyde and we always source from sustainable parfum houses.
