There are so many benefits to burning Soy Candles rather than traditional Paraffin Candles. Soy candles are made from soybeans; a natural, renewable source. Soy wax is clean burning and non-toxic. Your soy candle won’t release toxins in the air while burning, and although black soot can sometimes be seen in the jar, the amount is much less than paraffin. Traditional Paraffin candles are made from petroleum, which produces harmful by-products (including carcinogens) when burned or melted. It’s also a non-renewable source. While burning, paraffin candles produces a black soot that can stain walls, curtains and carpets in your home. Soy has a slower burn time and cooler burning temperature that Paraffin, which means your soy candle is longer lasting. Also as your Soy Candle burns slower, the scent is gradually released. So you won’t get an immediate, overwhelming wave of strong scent. Lastly, Soy wax is also biodegradable, making it an investment that benefits the environment. So, Soy is not just better for your health it’s also better for the environment!
