Our wax blend - Why we don't currently use Soy

Why Souvant Chose a Custom Wax Blend Over Soy Wax At Souvant, we’re committed to delivering high-performance, eco-conscious wax melts that stand out in quality and sustainability. While soy wax is popular for its renewable nature, it comes with challenges, such as inconsistent performance and hidden environmental costs. After extensive testing, we created a custom blend of rapeseed, coconut, and highly refined mineral wax. This blend offers superior scent throw, consistency, and ethical sourcing, with rapeseed farmed in Europe and mineral wax crafted in Germany. Our decision also stems from transparency concerns surrounding soy wax production, including the use of petroleum-derived hexane. Unlike the myths around soy wax being the "cleanest" or most eco-friendly option, we prioritize educating consumers on the realities of wax production. Discover why Souvant’s wax blend is the perfect balance of sustainability, performance, and honesty for your home fragrance needs.
