Soy candle making supplies can be less expensive than beeswax and is usually found in most stores.

Soy wax is hydrogenated soybean oil, is an all-natural wax and burns clean. Soy wax is very easy to use and simple to clean up with just soap and hot water. Soy candles last longer because they are a slower burning wax, approximately 50% longer than paraffin wax candles, which allows for cooler burning candles and faster release of the scent. This wax will also produce 90% less soot than the paraffin waxes.

Soy candle making supplies can be found through many online wholesale candlemaking websites as well as at many wholesale candlemaking supply stores and wholesale craft stores. Soy candle making supplies can be less expensive than beeswax and is usually found in most wholesale stores. Trying to piece all your supplies together especially when first starting can sometimes be impossible. When first looking for glassware, molds, waxes, wicks etc. try looking for soy candle kits. These soy candle kits will have everything you'll need to make and complete your candles, from materials to instructions and helpful hints and ideas. When looking for this wax by itself or in kits, you will find that it comes in flakes and blocks, flakes are usually the easiest form to use. Fragrances need to have the proper formula to be safe for soy wax so be sure to check this. Dye is also great for colored candles.

Using soy wax will allow for easier and safer candlemaking because unlike beeswax this wax will not catch fire, due to cooler burning waxes and will allow for better scent throw and color. Beeswax is usually not colored or scented because the beeswax already has a natural color and honey scent. Soy waxes allow you to choose many colors and scents to match your decor and to give for wonderful gifts. Candlemaking kits can also be wonderful gifts for any crafty person.
