Not to mention, soy, beeswax, and other vegetable-based waxes are non-toxic, biodegradable materials that are far better for the planet.

The best soy candle should smell good and complement your home decor. Below, we've rounded up fifteen of the best soy candles. When you're finished burning your soy candles, upcycle their stylish tins into storage containers for jewelry, keys, coins, and other small objects.
