What is the average burn time of soy wax candles?
Soy wax candles typically burn 30–50% longer than paraffin candles. Here’s a rough estimate:
-
Small candles (100–150g): 20–30 hours
-
Medium candles (200–300g): 40–55 hours
-
Large candles (300g+): 60–90+ hours
At Karessa candles, we craft our eco-friendly candles with high-quality soy wax for maximum burn time and minimal waste.
Why does soy wax last longer?
Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, which means it burns cooler and slower. This gives your scented candles more hours of fragrance, perfect for long evenings or multiple uses.
How do wick and jar size affect burn time?
Burn time also depends on:
-
Wick size & material
-
Candle diameter
-
Wax-to-fragrance ratio
Our candle jars with fragrance are designed to ensure even wax pooling and longer burn times—without wasting product.
