Sustainable Candles: Why Scripted Fragrance Chooses Non-Toxic 100% Soy Wax

Ever get overwhelmed browsing the candle aisle or scrolling through brands online? Between wax varieties, vessel types, arrays of fragrances, varying price points: it can be hard to know what you're actually buying. What sets one candle apart from another? And more importantly, how do you choose a candle that’s truly eco-conscious and sustainable?

At Scripted Fragrance, we’re proud to create sustainable soy wax candles that are clean-burning, thoughtfully sourced, and designed with reuse in mind. We’re here to have an open conversation about our materials and methods, because transparency should be part of what you bring home in a candle.

New York State Fall Scripted Fragrance 100% Soy Candles in Reusable Drinking Glass

Why do you use a reusable rocks glass for your candles?

Let’s be real…how many times have you finished a candle and had no clue what to do with the jar? Toss it? Recycle it? Repurpose it?

We’ve already done the thinking for you. Each Scripted Fragrance candle is hand-poured into a reusable, high-quality rocks glass featuring artwork that’s meaningful: like a dachshund silhouette, a gold-etched autumn leaf, or your favorite city or state. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, even after the final burn.

Imagine gifting our New York City candle to a friend who just moved. Once the candle is gone, the glass lives on their bar cart, coffee table, or bathroom vanity, still making memories. And bonus: this glass is the perfect match for our 100% soy wax, which burns cleaner and cooler than paraffin. Speaking of which…

What exactly is soy wax?

Soy wax is a plant-based, renewable wax made from soybeans, and it’s our wax of choice for every candle we pour. Unlike paraffin wax, which is petroleum-based and derived from fossil fuels, soy wax is a more sustainable, biodegradable option.

Our 100% soy wax is:

  • Made from soybeans. No blends, no fillers.

  • Grown and processed in the USA, supporting American farmers.

  • Classified as food-grade (but no, please don’t eat your candle!).

Many candles on the market use “soy blends,” which often include unknown amounts of paraffin, palm, or coconut wax. This is because often wax blends are less expensive than 100% soy, can be poured in massive volumes by machines and packed into containers and shipped overseas.

At Scripted Fragrance, we’re committed to 100% soy wax and hand-pouring them for our in our New York candle studio.

Scripted Fragrance Soy Wax Information Best Practices for Burning Your Candle Natural Soy

Is soy wax really better for the environment?

Yes, and here’s why.

Soy wax is a renewable, plant-derived alternative to paraffin. It’s biodegradable, clean-burning, and produces less soot and fewer carbon emissions during production and use.

We partner with our soy wax supplier who values:

  • Ethical, deforestation-free sourcing

  • Operates with lower-emission production practices

  • Avoids disrupting conversion-free ecosystems

For us, sustainability isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. From farm to flame, we make mindful choices that reduce our environmental footprint. 

Scripted Fragrance Sustainable Soy Wax Less Soot

What are the benefits of soy wax for me, the customer?

Soy wax doesn’t just benefit the planet, it makes a better candle experience for you, too.

Here’s how:

✔️ Longer Burn Time
Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin, which means it burns up to 30–50% longer. More time, more enjoyment, more value. Have you ever noticed how quickly you burn through some of those giant 3 wick candles you’d find in the mall or a big box store? This is part of that reason! Paraffin wax burns hotter and faster thus you have less burn time.

✔️ Less Soot
Because soy wax burns cooler and cleaner, you’ll see less residue on your glass, keeping your space looking (and smelling) fresh. This along with proper candle care will ensure a clean burn.

✔️ A Healthier Choice
Soy is plant-based, non-toxic, and free from fossil fuels. You’ll be filling your room with fragrance, not pollutants.

What else makes a Scripted Fragrance candle sustainable?

Sustainability goes beyond wax. Every component of our candles is chosen with care:

  • Fragrance Oils: We use responsibly sourced fragrance oils blended with essential oils. Our scents are free of harmful phthalates and never require outside warning labels for harmful toxins. Our candles are Prop 65 compliant only work with reputable fragrance houses who are transparent with IFRA and safety data. 

  • Wicks: The only wicks we use are made from braided cotton and are free of toxins. Lead-free quicks are a requirement for candles sold in the United States by the Consumer Products Safety Commission since 2003.

  • No Additives or Extra Preservatives: Just glass, soy wax, cotton wick, and premium fragrance blended with essential oils. No unnecessary extras.

  • Eco-Friendly Packaging: We print directly onto the glass and every candle is boxed in fully recyclable and contains post-consumer recycled packaging.

Across the entire candle-making process, our materials reflect our mission to make eco-conscious candles you can feel good about burning while providing a premium fragrance experience you can smell.
