The Best of Both Worlds: Why We Love Our Soy-Coconut Wax Blend

When you light a candle, you're doing more than just adding fragrance to a room—you're also burning its ingredients into the air you breathe.

For decades, the standard candle-making ingredient has been paraffin wax, a by-product of petroleum. When burned, it can release toxins and soot into the air.

The WildPetal Solution: When I started WildPetal, I knew I had to use a natural, plant-based wax. But not all plant waxes are created equal. After months of research and testing countless combinations, I didn't just settle on one. I created the perfect blend: a premium mix of natural soy wax and creamy coconut wax.

Why a Blend? Because together, they create a candle that is simply better—for you, for your home, and for the fragrance experience.

Meet the Waxes: Our Natural Power Couple

Natural Soy Wax: The Foundation The workhorse of our blend. It's a natural, vegetable-based wax made from the oil of soybeans. As a renewable resource, it forms the stable, clean-burning, and eco-friendly base for our candles.

Natural Coconut Wax: The Luxurious Touch This is our secret to a more premium candle. Coconut wax is made from the oil of the coconut—one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable waxes available. Coconuts are a high-yield crop that requires no pesticides to grow. It adds a beautiful, creamy-white texture and has some amazing performance benefits.

Three Big Reasons We Swear By This Blend

A Purer, Cleaner Burn (For You & Your Home) This blend is non-toxic and burns incredibly clean. You get the stable burn from the soy, enhanced by the clean-burning properties of coconut wax. This means virtually no petro-carbon soot (the black stuff) on your jars or your walls, and no unhealthy particles in the air you and your family breathe.

A Slower, Longer Burn (More Value for You) Both soy and coconut waxes have low melting points. This means your candle burns cooler and, therefore, slower than a traditional paraffin candle. You get to enjoy your favourite WildPetal scent for many, many more hours.

The Most Eco-Conscious Choice (For the Planet) This blend represents the best of sustainable, plant-based resources. We get the reliability of renewable soybeans combined with the highly sustainable, ethically-sourced coconut. It’s a choice we feel good about, from our garage studio to your home.

The Real Difference: A Richer, Truer Scent

The Magic of the Blend: This is where our soy-coconut blend truly shines. While soy wax is a great fragrance carrier, pure soy can sometimes be... particular. It can hold back some of the scent's more delicate notes.

Coconut Wax to the Rescue: Coconut wax is known for its superior ability to hold and release fragrance. It blends with the soy to create a wax pool that throws the scent more beautifully and effectively. It doesn't just throw more scent; it throws a truer scent.

The Result: You get a candle that smells as beautiful when it's burning as it does when it's cold. It’s the best of both worlds: the gradual, steady release from the soy, with an extra boost of richness and depth from the coconut. This is how you get the true fragrance fragment of a garden rose or a fresh herb.
