WHAT IS SOY WAX?

 

Have you ever wondered what soy wax is made of? Simply put, soy wax is a type of vegetable wax derived from soybean oil. The process begins with cleaning, cracking, de-hulling, and rolling the harvested soybeans into small flakes. From there, the oil is extracted from the flakes and subjected to a process called hydrogenation.

 

During hydrogenation, some of the unsaturated fatty acids in the oil are converted to saturated fatty acids. This change significantly alters the oil's melting point, causing it to become solid at room temperature. The resulting substance is what we know as soy wax - a natural and renewable alternative to traditional paraffin wax.

 

But the benefits of soy don't stop there. The leftover bean husks, or "okara," can be repurposed as animal feed, reducing waste and making soy a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. So next time you use a soy wax melt product, remember that not only are you making a healthier choice for yourself, but you're also doing your part to support a more sustainable future.
