Not all candles are created equal. While they may look similar on the outside, what’s inside makes all the difference. At Witchy Philly Candle Co., we’re passionate about using natural, high-quality ingredients—because what you burn in your home matters. That’s why we choose 100% soy wax and toxin-free fragrance oils, creating a cleaner, longer-lasting, and more sustainable candle.

So, how does soy wax compare to other options? Let’s break it down.

Paraffin vs. Soy: What’s the Difference?

Many commercial candles are made with paraffin wax, a byproduct of petroleum refining. While paraffin candles tend to be cheaper, they come with some downsides:
❌ Soot & Air Quality – Paraffin candles can produce black soot, which can build up in your home and affect air quality.
❌ Toxins – Some studies suggest that burning paraffin wax may release harmful chemicals into the air.
❌ Faster Burn Time – Paraffin candles burn quickly, meaning you’ll be replacing them more often.

On the other hand, soy wax is a plant-based alternative that offers several benefits:
✅ Clean Burning – Soy candles produce little to no soot, keeping your air and surfaces cleaner.
✅ Longer Burn Time – Soy wax burns slower and more evenly, meaning your favorite candle lasts longer.
✅ Eco-Friendly – Made from soybeans, it’s biodegradable and renewable—better for the planet.

Why We’re Committed to Natural Ingredients

Beyond just wax, we carefully choose fragrance oils that are free from phthalates and harmful additives. Our ECO wicks are lead-free, ensuring a safe, even burn. And our crystals? Ethically sourced, of course. Every element of our candles is chosen with intention—so you can enjoy the cozy vibes without worry.

When you light a Witchy Philly candle, you’re not just filling your space with an amazing scent. You’re choosing quality, sustainability, and a little extra magic.

In love & light ✨
