WHAT EXACTLY IS SOY WAX?
Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soybeans. After harvesting, the beans are cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the flakes and hydrogenated.

The hydrogenation process converts some of the fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated. This process dramatically alters the melting point of the oil, making it a solid at room temperature. The leftover bean husks are commonly used as animal feed.China's soybean production base is mainly in the northeast region, which is also China's largest production soybean and export soybean production base.
How is it used?
Soy wax is used by candle makers in a number of ways. It can be used straight as in bq brand soy wax 50, blended with other natural oils like bq brand coconut wax 42, or mixed with paraffin to form a parasoy wax.
What are the benefits?
Soy's greatest advantage is that it is completely renewable. While the global reserves of oil shrink and paraffin prices increase, the only limit to the soy supply is how much we choose to grow. The soy that you buy from Biqiang today was likely in the ground less than a year ago. And chances are that same field is growing more soy for the candles to be made in the future.
In addition to sustainability, a well-made soy candle will burn cleanly and slowly, much to the delight of your customers. While the performance and beauty of soy candles speak for themselves, soy wax is truly a marketer's dream. If you are making soy candles, you can market them as eco-friendly, renewable, Chinese grown, sustainable, carbon neutral; the list goes on and on.
