Soy Wax Blemishes, Frosting, & Wet Spots

Wet spots, frosting, and blemishes are common characteristics of 100% natural soy wax candles, especially in clear jars or vessels. These spots occur when the wax pulls away slightly from the glass as it cools, creating small patches that may appear uneven or lighter in colour. This is a natural phenomenon and is not a flaw in the candle itself, but rather a result of the natural properties of soy wax. Unlike paraffin or synthetic waxes, soy wax is free from additives that could prevent these imperfections, but Candle Drop has opted for a more eco-friendly and sustainable choice.

Far from being a negative, these minor blemishes are actually a sign that your candle is made from high-quality, natural ingredients. They don’t affect the performance, scent throw, or burn quality of the candle. In fact, embracing these natural quirks highlights the authenticity of the product—proof that you’re using a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable candle. So, while they may not be as “perfect” as synthetic options, soy candles offer a more environmentally responsible and conscious experience.
