Question 1

Why did Peachy-Keene Candles switch from 100% soy to a soy blend?

Accepted Answer

Soy wax is clean-burning but often has a lighter hot throw (scent when burning). Blending soy with paraffin or other waxes like coconut or beeswax can:
 • Boost both cold and hot throw
 • Carry complex fragrance oils more effectively
 • Fill a room faster and stronger

Question 2

Are your soy blend candles eco-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Our soy-paraffin blend offers a strong scent and clean burn while reducing the environmental impact of full paraffin. Soy is a renewable, plant-based wax, and we pair it with recyclable containers and minimal packaging to stay as earth-conscious as possible.

Question 3

What is the difference in appearance from soy wax to soy blend wax?

Accepted Answer

Pure soy can be prone to:
 • Frosting (white, chalky coating)
 • Rough tops after pouring
 • Sinkholes and air pockets
A soy blend typically offers a smoother, creamier finish, giving candles a more professional, consistent look.
