Why Choose Soy Wax Candles? The Benefits of Natural Ingredients

Why Choose Soy Wax Candles?
The Benefits of Natural Ingredients in Your Home

At Swag & Burn, we believe that what you bring into your home should reflect care, intention, and quality. That’s why all of our candles are made using premium, natural soy wax — a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to traditional paraffin.

But what exactly makes soy wax so special? Let’s explore the benefits of choosing soy wax candles, and why they’re the ideal choice for conscious, calm living.


🌱 Cleaner Burn, Better Air
Soy wax is a natural, plant-based wax made from soybeans. Unlike paraffin wax — a by-product of petroleum — soy wax burns cleanly and evenly, producing minimal soot. This means fewer pollutants in your air, and a healthier environment for your home.

Whether you're unwinding after a long day or setting the mood for a quiet evening in, soy wax ensures the only thing filling your space is beautiful fragrance.


🕯️ Longer Burn Time
One of the lesser-known benefits of soy wax is its longer burn time. It melts at a lower temperature than paraffin, which means your candle lasts longer — giving you more value and enjoyment with each light.

Each of our 200g candles offers around 25 hours of burn time, making them perfect for daily rituals or long, restful evenings.


🌿 Vegan & Cruelty-Free
All Swag & Burn candles are proudly vegan, cruelty-free, and free from parabens, silicones, and PEGs. We believe luxury should never come at the cost of wellbeing — for you, animals, or the planet.

Our candles are hand-poured in Sussex in small batches, using natural cotton wicks and premium soy wax for a thoughtful, clean experience from first light to final glow.


♻️ Sustainable & Beautiful
Our soy wax candles come in elegant reusable and recyclable glass vessels, designed to be kept, refilled, or repurposed — not discarded. From packaging to ingredients, every choice reflects our commitment to sustainable, mindful living.
