How to Get Your Home to Smell Like Pure Comfort: A Guide to Clean-Burning Candles

At Tildy Candle Co., we believe candles aren’t just for fragrance—they’re for creating memories. Whether it’s the soft crackle of a wick during a cozy Ohio winter or the bright scent of citrus on a summer afternoon, candles set the tone for life’s moments.

But here’s the truth: not all candles are created equal. Many big-box candles are made with paraffin wax, which can release toxins and burn unevenly. That’s why we hand-pour our candles with 100% soy wax—a cleaner, longer-lasting, and eco-friendly option.

If you’ve ever wondered: “What’s the best kind of candle for my home?” or “How do I make sure my candles are safe and long-lasting?”—you’re in the right place.

Why Choose Soy Candles Over Paraffin?

Soy candles:

  •  Burn cleaner with less soot.

  •  Last longer, giving you more hours of fragrance.

  •  Are made from renewable resources (soybeans!).

Try one of our customer favorites:
Vanilla Soy Candle – a creamy blend of vanilla and coconut that feels like home in a jar.
