Pure soy wax is derived from soybeans which are a natural, renewable source grown in many regions in Australia by organic farmers.

Pure soy wax provides a cleaner burn as it doesn’t contain paraffin waxes which are extracts of petroleum and are derived from petrochemicals.

Pure Soy Wax is –
• 100% Plant-Based!
• All Natural!
• Sustainable, Renewable and Biodegradable!
• Free of animal testing!
• Free of petroleum products!
• Free of animal products!
• Free of insect products!
• Free of palm oil!

The Manufacturing Process of pure soy wax is designed to purify the wax, ensuring the removal of any potentially present pesticides, herbicides, or Genetically Modified Materials (GMM)*.  This Process has been verified and confirmed to be 100% effective by accredited third party Laboratory Analysis for the wax we use in the manufacturing process of Lola King Candles.

We only use pure cotton wicks which are free of heavy metals such as lead and are made from all-natural, cotton fibres to ensure a clean burn. The aim is to keep your wick trimmed and still as a direct draft will cause it to smoke unnecessarily. If you’ve ever experienced a mushroom effect on the end of your wick after burning, then this is a result of the wick absorbing more wax than it can burn and can happen when the wick is too long. To prevent mushrooming, simply trim your wick prior to every burn (5-6mm).

If you are unfamiliar with palm oil, then there’s good reason to avoid this as up to 300 football fields of natural forests in Africa are cleared every hour to make room for palm plantations. As a result, the orangutan population has decreased in the last 10 years due to the habitat loss from forest clearing for palm plantations. Palm oil can be used by some candle manufacturers as an enhancer.

Please note that at Lola King Candles we promote ‘pure’ soy wax in our hand poured process as we don’t use any enhancers and additives to artificially extend the throw of the candle which can have harmful effects on your health.
