When shopping for soy candles, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the options (especially when shopping online where you can’t actually smell them). And unfortunately, the best soy candles are a lot harder to find compared to paraffin candles.
When making soy candles, the manufacturer needs to perfect their craft. For example, you’ll often find that a soy candle will smell amazing at the store, but you’ll get home and it doesn’t smell at all once you light it.
Because of this, it’s important to read ratings and reviews when shopping for soy candles.
So, we created a list of the top soy candles out there!
We took a variety of factors into account when picking each candle (including quality, scent, burn time, value, wick type, if they’re free of chemicals, average customer reviews, and more).
Whether you’re gift shopping or hunting for your next favorite candle, you’re bound to find the perfect fit – or more than one.
