How Coconut Soy Wax Burns Cleaner (And Why It Matters)

How Coconut Soy Wax Burns Cleaner (And Why It Matters)

If you’ve ever lit a candle and wondered what exactly you’re breathing in, you’re not alone. At Pinky Swear & Co., we care about what goes into your air as much as what goes into your candle. That’s why we use coconut soy wax—a clean-burning, eco-conscious alternative to traditional waxes.

Here’s why it’s better for your home and the planet.

What Is Coconut Soy Wax?

Coconut soy wax is a natural blend made from the oil of coconuts and soybeans. It’s renewable, biodegradable, and free from paraffin, phthalates, and other toxins commonly found in mass-market candles.

And unlike paraffin wax (a petroleum byproduct), our wax won’t release harmful chemicals when burned.

Why It Burns Cleaner

1. Less Soot & Smoke

Coconut soy wax produces little to no black soot. This means cleaner walls, cleaner air, and no headaches after burning your favourite scent.

2. Slower, Even Burn

Our wax blend has a lower melting point, which means your candle burns longer and more evenly—no tunneling, no wasted wax.

3. Better Fragrance Throw

Because of its smooth texture and stable structure, coconut soy wax holds scent beautifully. You get a candle that smells as good on day 30 as it did on day 1.

Why It’s Better for Your Home

Whether you’re burning candles in your bedroom, bathroom, or living room, you want peace of mind. Coconut soy wax is non-toxic, clean, and gentle—safe for your home, your pets, and your peace of mind.

And when paired with our FSC-certified wooden wicks, the result is a candle that crackles softly and burns beautifully with less environmental impact.

Why It’s Better for the Planet

Choosing coconut soy wax supports:

• Sustainable agriculture (no petroleum)
• Lower carbon emissions during production
• Reduced waste with biodegradable ingredients

Plus, we use reusable vessels and offer candle refills to reduce packaging waste.

The Pinky Swear Difference

We don’t just make candles—we make them with care. Every Pinky Swear candle is:

• Hand-poured in small batches in Toronto
• Made with coconut soy wax + wooden wicks
• Phthalate-free, paraben-free, cruelty-free

Because clean living shouldn’t stop at your skincare. It should glow from your shelves too.
