Our Candles

Why Soy wax?
Pure soy wax is the optimal choice for scented candles. Here’s why:

  • Healthier for your lungs: Unlike paraffin wax candles which are derived from petroleum, soy wax candles are vegetable-based, non-toxic, and release no known carcinogens into the air.
  • Cleaner for your home: Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin wax, which means you won’t discolor walls, furniture and textiles from high amounts of airborne soot.
  • Better value: Soy-based candles burn up to 50% longer than paraffin candles of the same volume jar, and the slower burn time produces stronger, more consistent scent diffusion throughout your home.

What ingredients do you use in your candles?
We’re proud to use 100% pure soy wax from soybeans grown in America’s Midwest. All of our candles are phthalate free and contain no dyes or preservatives. We carefully select only sustainable, all-natural, and recyclable products across our entire line. All ingredients are listed on each product’s page.


Do you use essential oils in your candles?
We use fragrance oils that combine essential and botanical oils. Our oils are designed to bind effectively to soy wax in order to maximize scent throw, minimize soot, and produce a clean long-lasting burn.


Can I recycle the jars?
Absolutely! Our glass containers can be reused, repurposed, or recycled. If reusing, be sure to give them a good clean after burning through your candle.


Are your fragrances strong?
Everybody’s perception of scent strength is different. But for over 17 years, customers have told us that Aglow’s soy candles are the strongest and cleanest they’ve burned. That’s because we’ve tested and perfected our ingredients and formulas to maximize scent throw and burn time. If you’re overwhelmed by the strength of scent, consider moving the candle to a larger room. Likewise, burning the candle in a smaller space will ensure you enjoy the benefits of our wonderful scents.


How long do your candles burn for?
Our 9 oz. candles burn for 40-50 hrs. Check out our Candle Care page to learn more.
