Why are Soy Candles so Popular? The popularity of soy candles rests on their natural ingredients, which are biodegradable. They are therefore preferred over paraffin-based candles, which are environmentally more damaging.
Soy candles have many advantages over paraffin candles: · They burn 35-40% longer · Their low melting point assures slow and cool burning, which helps distribute the fragrance · They produce less soot, making them a healthier option. · Moreover, these candles do not increase the carbon dioxide level of the atmosphere, making them more attractive to environmentally conscious people. · Compared to paraffin candles, their non-toxic nature causes fewer allergies. They are therefore perceived as more child and animal friendly. · Another major factor in the popularity of soy candles is the relative ease with which their spills can be cleaned. While paraffin wax is difficult to remove from furniture or clothes, soy wax can be easily cleaned using hot, soapy water. Our Soy The soy we use for our candles has no beeswax or petroleum products hidden in it. The soybeans are not treated with pesticides or herbicides. There is no genetically modified material in any of the candle wax products we use.The minerals that the soybeans release in the soil enhance the soil to support another crop the next season. To make the pure soy wax for the soy candles, the soybeans are crushed to produce soybean oil, which is then purified. The soybean oil is hydrogenated and enhanced with botanical oils to create a pure soy wax for candles. · Clean Burning · Longer Burning · No chemicals · Great smell
