Coconut wax is the newest wax of the four. It has a naturally sweet scent, which can be a positive or negative, depending on preference. On the flip side, it doesn’t hold scent the same way paraffin wax does, decreasing its throw. Soy wax is often touted as the ecofriendly alternative to paraffin and is popular among candle brands that label themselves “clean” or “nontoxic.” Soy wax burns slower, meaning your candle will last longer.
