Why Soy?
Soy wax is all-natural - Soy wax is a favorite of environmentally conscious people
because it is not made from petroleum, like paraffin candles. Burning of soy
candles does not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere.
Soy candles last longer - They can last up to 50% longer than
paraffin candles.
Wax spills are easy to clean - It's very difficult to remove
paraffin wax from furniture or textiles. Soy wax spills can easily be cleaned
up with hot soapy water.
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.
Scented soy candles distribute more flavour - The incorporation of
soybean oil lowers the melting point of the candle, which translates into
cooler burning 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 essential oils evaporate into the
atmosphere.
