While all candles emit some level of soot while burning, candles made with natural soy emit significantly less. Soy candles also burn at a far slower rate than paraffin candles, so you're getting a candle that'll last longer (and who doesn't want to last longer?).

Phthalates, commonly found in cosmetics and fragrances, have been known to damage reproductive health and cause cancer. This mermaid only uses phthalate-free oils to curate her candles.

Other candlemakers will claim they use 100% soy but often mix in other toxic waxes for a smoother aesthetic. Upon burning, 100% natural soy candles will appear bumpy across the surface. This is a trademark of pure soy and a sign that you haven't been duped. The ill-mannered mermaid is proud of her natural bumps!
