Q: What Type of wax do you use to make your candles?

A: Hydrogenated Soy Wax! 

We are a tiny team of passionate Aromatherapists and Candle Gurus who strive to provide top-quality essential oil-based functional fragrances for your entire family and furry friends to enjoy. We are making even more conscious efforts and decisions to choose products that enhance your overall mental well-being. At Whiffs on Wheels, we provide our customers with clean fragrances and ingredients that are extracted from raw materials.

Our mission is, not to only make candles but to empower our customers with the education needed to consume responsibly. Our mood-boosting fragrance formulas are backed by research and science-based case study evidence! 

 

We are committed to using sustainably sourced soybeans which help reduce negative impacts on both you and the environment. Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soybeans, the beans are cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the flakes and hydrogenated. The hydrogenated process converts some of the fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated. This process significantly alters the melting point of the oil, making it solid at room temperature. The leftover bean husks are commonly used as animal feed. The U.S. grows the vast majority of the world's soybeans, primarily in Illinois, Iowa, and Indiana.

​

We meticulously prepare each candle with the following : 
1. Plant-based, domestically-produced soy wax, with no known environmental or health impacts. Our soy wax is produced from oil extracted from soybeans. The oil is hydrogenated, making it a solid at room temperature.

Per the Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, hydrogenated soybean oil, referred to as soy wax by candle makers, is a renewable and biodegradable alternative to paraffin wax in candle manufacturing. According to the Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Soy wax, in candles, was deemed less harmful than paraffin and other non-veggie wax blends.
We do not blend our wax with Paraffin or other non-plant-based wax types.

2. Our fragrances are  IFRA (International Fragrance Association) approved and infused with all-natural essential oils. 

3. Our wicks are made from All-Natural ring-spun cotton

Q: What are the benefits of burning soy wax?

A: Soy's greatest advantage is that it is completely renewable.

• It's Healthier - Soy wax candles emit less soot and harmful chemicals like benzene and toluene than paraffin wax candles, which can improve indoor air quality and make them a healthier choice for people with allergies, asthma, or air quality sensitivities.

• It's Eco-friendly- Soy wax is biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-carcinogenic, and it comes from a renewable resource. Soybeans are also grown without pesticides or herbicides, making them an even more eco-friendly choice.

• It's Vegan - Soy wax candles don't contain any animal products or by-products, making them vegan-friendly.

• It's Longer-lasting - Soy wax candles burn slower than paraffin wax candles, so they last longer.

• It has a better scent- Soy wax candles have a lower burning temperature and produce less soot, smoke, and toxins, which can lead to a purer, more pleasant scent.
