Why Soy Candles

100% Natural
Soy candles are made from oils found in soybeans, a natural and renewable source. Because of their natural nature soy wax candles do not release any toxic fume when burning and also hold their scent better.

Paraffin candles are made from petroleum, a source that contains carcinogenic substances and toxic chemicals. These chemicals are generally released into the air while burning.

Cleaner Burning
Soy wax burns cleaner with very little soot as the candle burns. Paraffin create significant soot that stains the jar as well as walls and furniture surfaces around the candle. Soy candles may accumulate some black soot as it is a by-product of the flame however the amount is much less than paraffin candles. This soot is also non-toxic.

Better Scent
The fragrance from essential oils and other candle fragrances oils blend much better with soy wax and because they burn more slowly, the scent is gradually released. Soy candles will not create an overpowering immediate scent, it is released gradually. Soy wax also hold colour well for those who enjoy a little colour in their candles.

Longer Lasting
Soy candles typically last longer than a paraffin candle of the same size, according to Planet Green. The reason behind the longevity of soy candles is the slower burning time and cooler burning temperature of the soybean-based wax. You may pay more for a soy candle initially, but the longer-lasting burn means you won't have to buy new candles as often. Soy wax is also biodegradable, making it an investment that benefits the environment.
