Advantages of Soy Candles

  • Soy wax is all-natural - Soy wax candles are a favorite of eco-friendly people because it is not made from petroleum, like paraffin candles. Burning of soy candles does not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere.  Paraffin is a petroleum product, which is not a renewable resource and causes pollution in its production.
  • Scented soy candles last longer - They can last up to 50% longer than paraffin candles if the wicks are trimmed properly.
  • Wax spills are easy to clean - It's very difficult to remove paraffin wax from furniture or textiles. Soy candle spills can easily be cleaned up with hot soapy water.
  • Scented soy candles produce less soot - Soot should be avoided because it is very unhealthy and can eventually coat furniture and walls. Soy candles produce about 90% less soot that paraffin candles. Again, keeping your wicks trimmed will prove to be beneficial.
  • Fragrant soy candles distribute more scent - The incorporation of soybean oil lowers the melting point of the candle, which translates into cooler burning scented candles and faster scent dispersion. The lower melting point of soy wax results in a larger size of the liquid wax pool around the candle wick. It is from this liquid wax pool that the oils evaporate into the atmosphere.
  • Soy wax is made from a renewable source. Everytime you buy a SOY Candle, you contribute to the economy. How? Because our Farmers have to keep working their crops to fill the huge demand of soy wax.
