Where Does Soy Wax Come From?

🌱 What Is Soy Wax Made From?

Soy wax is a natural, renewable material derived from soybeans — one of the most abundant and sustainable crops in the world. Unlike paraffin (a petroleum byproduct) or beeswax (an animal derivative), soy wax is 100% plant-based and vegan.

The process begins with harvesting soybeans, which are then cleaned, cracked, and de-hulled. The remaining soybean flakes are pressed to extract soybean oil — and this oil is hydrogenated to transform it into a solid form: soy wax.

🇺🇸 A U.S.-Grown Source of Clean Light

Most of the world’s soybeans are grown in the United States, using sustainable and regulated agricultural practices. At Votive, we ensure our soy wax is non-GMO certified, responsibly sourced, and free from pesticides, synthetic additives, or animal interference.

🌾 When you light a Votive candle, you’re supporting clean American agriculture — not chemical processing or animal exploitation.

♻️ Why This Origin Matters

Where your wax comes from defines everything:

• Its burn quality

• Its safety

• Its impact on the environment

• Its ability to carry essential oils naturally

Soy wax, being biodegradable, non-toxic, and slow-burning, delivers a purer experience — especially when paired with our therapeutic-grade essential oils and artisanal craftsmanship.

🌸 The Foundation of Clean Wellness

Votive candles are more than just beautiful — they are intentional wellness tools. The soy wax we use holds and releases our essential oil blends in the most natural, gentle way possible. This creates a cleaner, longer-lasting burn that respects your space and your lungs.

🕯️ From the soy field to your sanctuary — every step of the journey matters.

Final Thought: Know What You Light

When you understand where your candle comes from, you light it with more than intention — you light it with trust. And that trust is the heart of what we build at Votive: natural soy wax candles that honor your home, your health, and the planet.
