Why a Lid on your Soya Wax Scented Candle is a Smart Choice
When you are looking for a scented candle that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, a soy wax scented candle with a lid often emerges as an excellent choice. But why would you choose a scented candle with a lid? In this blog article we delve deeper into the benefits of a lid on your soya wax scented candle and why this small detail can make a big difference.

Isle of Skye Candle Company's favorite wax comes from ethically sourced, American-grown soy. They specifically avoid soy from South American countries where soy plantations are known to be one of the causes of deforestation.
What is a Soya Wax Scented Candle?
Before we discuss the benefits of a lid, let's first understand what exactly a soy wax scented candle is. Soya wax is made from soybeans and is a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice for candle making. It burns cleaner than paraffin wax, produces less soot and often has a longer burning time. A soy wax scented candle not only spreads a wonderful scent, but is also friendlier to the environment.
Why a Lid on your Scented Candle?
Protection against Dust and Dirt A lid on your soya wax scented candle provides effective protection against dust and dirt. This is especially useful if you do not use the candle for a long time. Dust particles can accumulate on the surface of the candle, which can lead to unwanted contamination and reduced scent dispersion. With a lid you keep your candle clean and in top condition.
Longer Fragrance Lifespan Covering your candle when it is not burning will help the scent last longer. The aromatic oils in the candle can volatilize over time when exposed to air and light. A lid prevents this volatilization and ensures that the scent remains intact for longer, so you can enjoy the wonderful scent of your soy wax candle for longer.
Fire safety A lid can also contribute to the fire safety of your candle. Although you should never leave a lit candle unattended, a lid can help smother small flames or sparks if an accident occurs. It provides an extra layer of protection and can help reduce the risk of uncontrolled flames.
Aesthetically Attractive In addition to the functional benefits, a lid also contributes to the aesthetics of your scented candle. It provides a neat and organized look and can complement the overall design of your interior. Many lids are designed with attention to detail and can make a stylish addition to your candle holder.
Burning Time Management If you do not let your soy wax scented candle burn completely, a thin layer of wax may form on the edges. A lid helps to minimize this layer of wax by preventing the entry of air that could affect the roasting process. This means your candle will burn more evenly and you get more value for your money.

A day trip from Oban, via Loch Ness to the Isle of Skye. Received with Scottish warmth from the manufacturer of our scented candles. To our surprise, we were allowed to pour the candles ourselves, which we were able to sell again from the Netherlands a week later.
