Soy candles are candles made from soy wax, which is a processed form of soybean oil. They are usually container candles because soy wax typically has a lower melting point than traditional waxes, but can also be made into pillar candles if certain additives are mixed into the soy wax.

PLUS there is a huge amount of pesticides and other chemicals being used in soybean farming which may stay with soy when processed. Many soy candles add palm oil to make them firm/hard or so they don't melt in the summer heat. They point out that soy plantations are causing a huge problem with deforestation.

The best candles to look out for are made using 100% GMO free (genetically modified organisms) soy wax. Soy wax burns clean and you won't be filling your home, or your lungs, with potentially deadly smoke, dangerous pollutants or staining your walls and ceilings with black soot.

If you are looking for a non-toxic vegetable based wax, 100% soy or 100% coconut wax can be a great option. Again, do not rely on the claims on the candle itself like “natural soy”: please ask the company to confirm that paraffin was not used in the processing of it's wax. Even better, look for organic soy.

As mentioned above, studies show that when soy and paraffin candles are burnt they release formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, toluene, benzene, and acetone, carcinogens that can lead to cancer and other health problems.
