Why Soy Wax?
Every Ollie & Co. candle is hand-poured in Vancouver with 100% soy wax, a phthalate-free fragrance and a lead-free cotton wick. Here is how soy compares:
| Wax | Burn | Soot | Vegan | Renewable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soy (ours) | Long, slow | Low | Yes | Yes |
| Paraffin | Faster | Higher | Yes | No |
| Beeswax | Longest | Very low | No | Yes |
| Coconut blends | Long, slow | Low | Usually | Mostly |
| Gel | Long | Low to moderate | Yes | No |
