Candles bring warmth, light, and calm into our homes — but did you know that the type of wax you burn makes a big difference to your health?
At Karessa Candles, we’re deeply intentional about what goes into every candle jar. That’s why we only use 100% soy wax — a clean, plant-based option that supports your wellness.
Let’s explore why soy scented candles are the best choice for a healthy home.
What makes soy wax safer than other waxes?
Unlike paraffin wax (a petroleum by-product), soy wax is made from natural soybean oil. It doesn’t release harmful chemicals or heavy soot when burned. That means you can enjoy your favorite scent without polluting the air in your home.
Our handmade soy candles are non-toxic and clean-burning — just the way candles should be.
Do soy candles release harmful toxins?
No. Soy wax is free from carcinogens and toxins often found in traditional paraffin candles. When paired with phthalate-free fragrance oils and cotton wicks — like we use in all our candle jars — the result is a candle that’s gentle on your lungs and your space.
Can soy candles improve indoor air quality?
Absolutely. Because soy wax produces minimal soot, it helps maintain cleaner indoor air. It’s a healthier choice for people with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to strong scents or synthetic chemicals.

Are soy candles safe around kids and pets?
Yes — and that’s one of the biggest reasons our customers choose soy. With no toxic fumes and lead-free wicks, Karessa Candles are a safer choice around babies, children, and pets.
Our calming scented candles make the perfect addition to nurseries, living rooms, and cozy nooks where the whole family gathers.
Do soy candles help with stress and mood?
They can! Soy wax holds fragrance exceptionally well, which means a steady, even scent release that won’t overpower. From lavender to vanilla to citrus — a slow-burning soy candle can help reduce stress and create a calming ambiance.
Our signature candle jars are designed to turn your space into a peaceful retreat.
Why does Karessa Candles use only soy wax?
Because we believe in candles that care. Your health, your home, and our planet matter — and soy wax is a conscious choice that supports all three.
From our natural soy candles to beautifully packaged gift hampers, everything we create is guided by safety, sustainability, and style.
