The Heart of Our Glow: Why We Choose Coco-Soy Wax at Still + Flame Apothecary

At Still + Flame Apothecary, every detail is considered, from the ethically sourced botanicals in our skincare to the harmonious blends of our essential oils. And when it comes to our beloved candles, the foundation of their gentle glow lies in the wax we carefully select: a luxurious blend of coconut and soy.

We believe that what goes into our candles is just as important as the beautiful scents they release. That's why we've chosen coco-soy wax as the heart of our illumination, and today, we want to share why this conscious choice makes all the difference.

Beyond Paraffin: Embracing Natural Goodness

For many years, paraffin wax was the standard in candle making. However, at Still + Flame, we are deeply committed to natural and sustainable practices. Paraffin is a byproduct of petroleum, a fossil fuel, and its burning can release potentially harmful toxins into your home. This simply doesn't align with our values of promoting well-being and respecting the environment.

The Beauty of Coco-Soy: A Superior Blend

This is where the magic of coco-soy wax shines. This natural blend offers a multitude of benefits that elevate your candle experience:

Clean Burning: Coco-soy wax burns significantly cleaner than paraffin, producing minimal soot. This means less black residue on your walls and a healthier atmosphere in your space. Breathe easy and enjoy the pure fragrance.

Longer Burn Time: Compared to pure soy wax, the addition of coconut wax often results in a slower, more even burn. This means you can enjoy the comforting glow and captivating scent of your Still + Flame candle for longer.

Excellent Scent Throw: Coco-soy wax has a fantastic ability to hold and release fragrance. You'll experience a consistent and beautiful scent throw that fills your room without being overpowering.

Creamy Texture and Beautiful Finish: The natural blend creates a smooth, creamy texture that gives our candles a luxurious look and feel. You'll notice the beautiful, even melt pool as your candle burns.

Sustainable Choice: Both coconut and soy waxes are derived from renewable resources. Coconut wax comes from coconuts, a readily available crop, while soy wax is made from soybeans grown in various parts of the world. Choosing coco-soy supports more sustainable agricultural practices.

Supports Farmers: By choosing soy wax, we indirectly support soybean farmers. Similarly, the demand for coconut oil contributes to the livelihoods of coconut growers.

Our Commitment to Quality, From Wick to Wax

At Still + Flame Apothecary, we meticulously pair our premium coco-soy wax with natural cotton or wooden wicks and our carefully curated blends of essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance oils. This holistic approach ensures a candle that not only smells divine but also aligns with our commitment to quality, sustainability, and your well-being.

Experience the Difference

The next time you light a Still + Flame candle, take a moment to appreciate the gentle flicker and the pure fragrance. Know that at its heart lies a conscious choice – our dedication to the clean-burning, long-lasting, and sustainable beauty of coco-soy wax. It's just one more way we strive to bring a touch of nature's tranquility and warmth into your life.
