Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Vegan Candle?

A vegan candle is crafted without animal-derived ingredients such as beeswax and instead uses plant-based alternatives like soy wax. It delivers a clean, botanical aroma experience rooted in nature.

Aveda’s vegan candles are thoughtfully crafted using a soy wax candle base and our signature blends of flower and plant essences. The result is a beautifully balanced fragrance designed to elevate your space with intention.

Are Soy Wax Candles Better Than Traditional Candles?

A soy candle is made from plant-based soy wax rather than paraffin wax. Many people prefer soy wax candles because they’re derived from renewable resources and offer a smooth, even burn. Aveda’s soy wax candle formulas are designed to deliver a consistent aromatic experience inspired by nature. Choosing a soy candle supports a more plant-powered approach to home fragrance while surrounding your space with Aveda’s signature aroma.

How Long Does a Soy Wax Candle Burn?

Burn time depends on the size of the candle and how it’s cared for. In general, a well-crafted soy wax candle burns evenly when the wick is trimmed and allowed to form a full melt pool during each use. To maximize the life of your Aveda vegan candle, allow the top layer to fully liquefy before extinguishing and trim the wick to about ¼ inch before relighting. Proper care ensures consistent scent experience and optimal performance from your soy candle.

How Do You Use Candles for Aromatherapy at Home?

Candles are one of the simplest ways to experience aromatherapy at home. Lighting a soy candle infused with essential oil–inspired aromas can help create a calming, uplifting or grounding atmosphere.

To incorporate a vegan candle into your ritual:

  • Light it during meditation or yoga.
  • Burn it while bathing for a spa-like experience.
  • Use it to set the tone for relaxation at the end of the day.
