Are Soy Candles Vegan?
Most candles don't come with an ingredients list. You just light it and hope for the best. But if we are going to be strategic about our wellbeing, we need to look at the data.

So, are soy candles vegan?
The Executive Summary: Yes.
100% soy wax comes from one place: soybeans. A plant. A humble legume that is hydrogenated into a beautiful, creamy, clean-burning wax. There are no animals involved in this project and the entire supply chain is plant-based.
What this really means is that a pure soy wax candle is, by its very definition, vegan.
A Quick Risk Assessment of Other Assets
Now, not all candles pass this audit. Let's look at the other players in the market.
Beeswax Candles: While natural and lovely, beeswax is an animal byproduct being created by bees, so it isn't vegan
The Legacy Option (Paraffin): Most standard candles are made from paraffin wax, a petroleum by-product. While technically vegan, its environmental credentials are... questionable at best
The Historical Option (Tallow): We don't need to spend much time here. Old-school candles were sometimes made from animal fat. Let's just agree that's a legacy system we're happy to have retired
The Bottom Line
Choosing a 100% soy wax candle is a lifestyle choice, but you are not just buying a nice smell, you are investing in a product with a clean, ethical and sustainable supply chain.
