There’s nothing like lighting a candle at the end of a long day — the soft flicker, the soothing scent, and that moment of calm. But did you know that the type of wax in your candle can make a big difference to your health, your home, and even the planet?
At Olivespa, we choose to craft all of our candles with 100% soy wax — and here’s why we think it’s the better choice.
1. A Clean, Non-Toxic Burn
Most conventional candles are made with paraffin wax, a petroleum byproduct that can release potentially harmful chemicals when burned. In contrast, soy wax is a natural, plant-based alternative made from U.S.-grown soybeans. Our soy candles contain no chemical additives, no paraffin, and no petroleum — just clean, safe ingredients that are better for your indoor air quality and peace of mind.
2. Safer for You, Better for the Planet
Soy wax is both non-toxic and biodegradable, making it a much more environmentally friendly choice. It’s renewable, sustainable, and breaks down naturally — a win for you and for the Earth. When you burn an Olivespa candle, you’re not just filling your home with beautiful scent — you’re making a conscious, eco-friendly choice.
3. Longer Burn Time = More Glow
Another reason we love soy wax? It burns slower and cooler than paraffin, giving you a longer-lasting candle. That means more hours of relaxing ambiance, more time to enjoy your favorite scents, and more value with every candle.
4. Thoughtfully Handcrafted
At Olivespa, every candle is hand-poured in small batches right here in Arizona. We believe in thoughtful, intentional production. From the wax to the essential oils to the eco-friendly packaging, everything we do is rooted in care — for you, your skin, and your home.
