Soybean vegetable wax: properties and benefits
Scenting a room as part of our personal, daily or habitual rituals gives us a moment of relaxation where we can concentrate on awakening our sense of smell. A very nice way to do this is by using candles, which, in addition to scenting in a very subtle and long-lasting way, are part of the design and aesthetics of our spaces. At Laguna Cyprien we opt for candles made with vegetable soy wax for their environmental and practical benefits.

Candles and types of waxes
Candles are commonly made from paraffin wax, a mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. It is a good option in terms of quality and price, but not in terms of environmental impact.
Since the 1990s, soybean vegetable wax has been presented as an alternative to reduce the use of petrochemical products. Another vegetable wax is beeswax, which is produced naturally for the construction of beehives.
Soy vegetable wax
Soybean vegetable wax is obtained by converting soybean oil into a solidified fat through a hydrogenation process. This allows the wax to remain solid at room temperature and melt with heat.
