Why Use Soy Wax for Candles?
CLEAN BURNING — Soy wax is non-toxic and burns cleaner than paraffin, with no petrol-carbon soot which can blacken walls, ceilings, and furniture, contaminate ventilation ductwork in your home.
NON-TOXIC – Soy Wax is non-toxic to burn, containing no chemicals or carcinogens – unlike paraffin wax which can contain up to 11 carcinogenic compounds.
LONG BURNING — Soy candles burn slower and cooler than paraffin wax, creating a longer burning candle – 30% – 50% longer than an equivalent size paraffin candle
RENEWABLE RESOURCE — Soybeans are a renewable source, unlike paraffin, which consists of petroleum.
BIODEGRADABLE — Since soybeans are vegetables, soy wax (basically made from hydrogenated soybean oil)
is naturally biodegradable. Soy wax is also easier to remove from materials and other surfaces than paraffin wax.
SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR FARMERS — Buying soybean products creates important economic growth for farmers – many of them in third world countries.
Buying paraffin candles ultimately supports the oil industry!
EASIER TO CLEAN – Soy wax is water-soluble, so it’s easier to clean up messy spills. The essential oils in our candles may need some soap however to help shift them!
Soy candles are simply better for you, your family, and your environment.
