The Benefits of Combining Coconut and Soy Wax
When it comes to candle making, choosing the right wax can make all the difference. At Willis Candle Shop, we know the importance of choosing the right ingredients, and that’s why we use a coconut soy candle blend. Soy wax candles are known for their clean, steady burn, but when combined with coconut wax, the result is a smoother, more consistent burn.
Coconut soy candles also offer a superior candle scent throw, meaning the fragrance is released more effectively and fills your space faster. This makes them ideal for larger rooms or open-concept areas where weaker candles get lost.
Our blend also helps reduce the tunneling issue that plagues many candles. You won’t find a ring of wasted wax around the edge of your jar. That’s thanks to how evenly the blend works together with proper candle container wick sizing.
Why Single Wax Blends Fall Short
While soy wax alone is a decent option, it sometimes lacks the power to deliver fragrance quickly. On the other hand, coconut wax burns too fast by itself and doesn’t hold scent as well. When used alone, each wax has a flaw.
Blending these two natural waxes allows us to overcome these limitations. Coconut soy wax candles give you the clean burn and structure of soy with the smooth melt and aroma throw of coconut. This combination is ideal for anyone who wants a candle that looks good, burns better, and smells amazing.
Healthier Alternatives to Paraffin
We’ve all seen paraffin wax candles lining the shelves at big-box stores. They’re cheap, common, and unfortunately, potentially toxic. Paraffin wax candles are derived from petroleum, and when burned, they can release chemicals like toluene and benzene into your home.
That’s not a risk we’re willing to take—and we don’t think you should either. Our phthalate-free candles and paraben-free candles are made without these harmful ingredients and burn clean, without releasing toxins into the air. Read our article about what a candle scent says about your mood.

Why Quality Ingredients Matter
The market is flooded with cheap candles that smell artificial and burn unevenly. At Willis Candle Shop, we only use premium fragrance oils and a wax blend that’s designed to perform. Our eco-friendly candles are a testament to that. They’re better for your lungs, your family, pets, and the environment.
We also source non-toxic candles that don’t contain unnecessary, harsh additives. It’s not just about what’s in the candle—it’s also about what’s not in the candle.
Extended Burn Life and Stronger Scent Throw
Candles shouldn’t just smell nice—they should last. One of the biggest complaints we hear from new customers is that their store-bought candles fizzle out fast. That’s why we make long-burning candles a priority. Our blend of natural waxes supports a longer, steadier flame.
Whether you're lighting a coffee candle in the morning or a jasmine candle blend for a calming evening, you’ll notice how far the fragrance reaches. Our candles don’t sit quietly—they announce themselves.
Perfect for Every Mood and Moment

Every scent serves a purpose. We don’t just slap a label on and call it done. Whether you’re shopping for romantic candles, masculine candles, something sweet and floral like a vanilla candle, or something bold like a teakwood candle or tobacco candle, we’ve got a blend for you.
