soy candles

Legume-based luminaries

Soy candles are candles made from soybean wax rather than traditional paraffin.

Marketed as a cleaner-burning, renewable alternative, they've become standard in boutique and artisanal candle making: The shop sells hand-poured soy candles in mason jars.

The term often signals eco-conscious branding as much as the actual material.
