Why We Choose Coconut/Soy Wax (and Why You’ll Love It Too)

When it comes to candle-making, not all waxes are created equal. At The Enchanted Wik, we’re committed to crafting candles that are not only beautiful and fragrant—but also safe, sustainable, and high quality. That’s why we exclusively use a coconut/soy wax blend in all of our candles.

So, what makes coconut/soy wax stand out from the rest? Let’s break it down.

🌱 Coconut/Soy Wax: The Best of Both Worlds

Our blend of coconut and soy wax combines the best qualities of each:

• Coconut wax is a premium, eco-friendly option made from the meat of coconuts. It has a clean, slow burn, excellent scent throw, and minimal environmental impact.

• Soy wax, made from soybean oil, is a renewable, biodegradable alternative to paraffin. It’s widely loved for its smooth finish and stable burn.

Together, they create a wax that’s creamy, long-lasting, and beautifully clean-burning—without compromising performance or sustainability.

🔥 How It Compares to Other Wax Types

Here’s how coconut/soy stacks up against some of the most common waxes on the market:

Paraffin Wax:
Derived from petroleum, paraffin is cheap and widely used—but it comes with a cost. It burns quickly, emits more soot, and is not biodegradable. It also lacks the natural, toxin-free appeal of plant-based waxes.

Beeswax:
A natural option that burns clean and long, beeswax is beautiful—but not vegan. It also tends to have a natural honey scent that can affect the fragrance of a candle. It's lovely, but not ideal for blending with a wide range of scents.

Palm Wax:
Palm wax creates unique crystal-like textures, but its environmental impact is a concern. Unsustainable palm harvesting has been linked to deforestation and habitat destruction, making it less desirable for conscious candle-makers and buyers.

Gel Wax:
Used mostly for novelty candles, gel wax is petroleum-based and not eco-friendly. While it allows for creative shapes and embeds, it’s not a clean or natural option.
