Luxury Candles. What goes into them and why are they so amazing?

Luxury Candles

What goes into them and why are they so amazing?

At Soapfullness we have a lot of love for luxury candles. But what actually makes a luxury candle?

Luxury candles are certainly associated with being high end. They are beautiful and elegant and they certainly indulge the senses.

Hand poured, each luxury soy candle is crafted with perfection in mind. By pouring out luxury soy candle small batches we ensure that each batch is given a high degree of care and craft.

Our Luxury Candles will certainly enhance any room that they are in.

Creating luxury candles isn’t just about how we create them, but it’s also about what goes into them.

At Soapfullness our luxury candle range, also known as our self-care candle range, is 99% Natural.

We use Soy wax for its long, clean, beautiful burns. Yes, it’s more expensive than paraffin, but Soy Wax comes from environmentally friendly and renewable resources and provides the most beautiful scent throws. Soy Wax typically lasts a lot longer than paraffin candles.

During the creation of our luxury candles we decided that it was vital to use essential oils and not fragrance oils. Why?

Essential oils have an array of health benefits from lifting your mood, improving sleep, reducing stress and anxiety, improving focus and clarity. The list of benefits that essential oils provide is huge. A little google and you could be lost researching for hours.

We seek to provide you with Luxury. Luxury that provides a little bit of self-care. A luxury that makes your environment smell and feel amazing. A Luxury which will make a difference to your day.

Soy Wax Candles

As mentioned above, we use Soy wax for our luxury candle range. The benefits of using Soy wax are long and these are the reasons why we love and use soy wax in our luxury soy candle range here at Soapfullness.

* Soy Wax lasts longer than Paraffin Waxes *

On average soy wax burns 40-50% slower than paraffin-based waxes. Soy wax burns slower, which is why it lasts longer.

Soy Wax is an entirely natural product that is safe for your respiratory system as soy wax does not release toxins or dangerous chemicals.

* Soy Wax is Environmentally Friendly *

Derived from natural resources, the Soybean.  Soy Wax is 100% Natural, 100% Biodegradable, 100% Environmentally Friendly.

Paraffin wax is derived from refinery process for petroleum oil therefore non-renewable and non-environmentally friendly. Soy wax is not dependant upon the dwindling supply of crude oil.

* Soy Wax provides Beautiful Scent Throws *

Soy wax produces the most beautiful scent throws. We allow our candles a minimum of two weeks to cure so that the wax and fragrance can bind together which will produce the most beautiful scent throws for you to fall in love with.

* Soy Wax provides Long, Clean and Beautiful Burns *

Soy wax doesn’t release petrol-carbon scoot, meaning no oily black marks on your walls unlike paraffin candles. By keeping the wick trimmed short ensures that the candle doesn’t smoke and that it burns efficiently.

Soy wax is less likely to trigger allergies as it doesn’t release toxins, carcinogens or pollutants.

By using Soy wax for our luxury candle range also means that you get a beautiful candle that is just made to be loved.

So how do we fragrance our Luxury Candle Range?

We adore Essential oils. Our Luxury candle range (also known as our self-care candle collection) only uses essential oils as they provide so many health benefits and just smell absolutely divine when in a candle.

We are inspired by nature as all the good that it can do for our mental and physical health. That’s why we keep our self-care luxury candle collection as connected to nature as possible and use as many beautiful and natural ingredients as possible. 

Why do we use Essential Oils in our Luxury Candle range?

Essential Oils are powerful and have been used for thousands of years to improve physical, mental and even spiritual wellbeing.

At Soapfullness our blends are 100% natural. Our luxury candle range can help you feel relaxed, calm, energised, focused to name but a few benefits. 

Essential oils are thought to have therapeutic effects by stimulating the olfactory system, which is connected to the limbic system in the brain.

The Olfactory system beings in the nose and continues through into the brain, where the smells are processed and can influence moods and behaviours.

The Limbic system is responsible for forming emotions, indexing and storing memories and regulating emotional responses, alongside survival instincts.

Due to the connection the olfactory system has on the limbic system essential oils are thought to be able to influence emotions and memories thought this direct connection.

Our essential oil blends are very much inspired by our natural environment. So, whether you want to go for a walk in the woods or be refreshed by some time in the garden listening to the bees bumbling around our luxury candle range is certainly for you.

Our candle wicks are very important. They are vegan friendly and made from cotton. The wicks are self-trimming which minimises mushrooming, scoot and smoke. They make the perfect addition to our self-care luxury candle collection. 

At Soapfullness we are conscious about the environment. Like you (we hope) we adore being outside in nature.  This to us means that we want to reduce any negative affect that we have on the environment.

Our candle jars can be fully repurposed or reused for a variety of uses. Such uses include growing plants, make your own candles, used for decorative purposes, used for drinks, storage (hairbands, jewellery, etc), stationary pot and so on. You can every customise your candle glasses with labels to fit in with your home.

We do our best to ensure that we source materials which have already been recycled and repurposed for our packaging.

We also like to ensure that after you have finished with the packaging that it is reusable and/or recyclable.


Luxury Candles allow you to indulge in a self-care in a way that is not demanding or inconvenient. Our luxury candles entice spaces with their beautiful aromas allowing you to reap the wonderful benefits of essential oils.

Luxury candles create an alluring space which you adore being in. They can provide a sanctuary of peace as you read a book, practice yoga, do a cross word or just unwind by watching Netflix.

A luxury candle is very different to a regular candle. Their elegant ingredients make a big difference to the décor and ambience of your home, as well as their effects on your mood and emotions.

A luxury candle is very different to that of one being mass produced. Our candles are high quality and handmade, ensuring that you get the best beautiful candle that you will simply adore.

Our candles make the perfect gift for someone that you love or care about. Unique and gorgeous, the recipient is bound to fall in love with the with our candles for very good reasons.

They simply aren’t a candle that you have just picked up off the super market shelf.

They are a thoughtful gift that reflects uniqueness and quality, whilst allowing them to have a candle that they can enjoy for hours on end.
