Soy Based Candles Over Other Wax Candles

Advantages of soy candles

• Soy Candles are Cheaper - Bees wax is a great natural alternative to paraffin, but to get the same results as a soy-based candle, it is very expensive. Soy wax is a new alternative to paraffin wax that is cost effective. Soy wax is also made from a renewable source. These natural candles are made from 100% soybean wax made from soybeans grown right here in the good old USA. Which supports our local agricultural industry not the industries of countries from overseas.
  
  
• 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 or the discomforts to those with allergies or breathing problems.
  
  
• Soy Candles Last Longer - They can last from up to 30-50% longer than paraffin candles. They offer burning evenly, leaving very little to zero excess wax on the sides of the jar to eliminate waste.
  
  
• 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 than paraffin candles. Studies have shown that cancer-causing agents released by paraffin wax candles are just as toxic as second hand cigarette smoke and can cause damage to the heart, lungs, circulatory system and nervous system.
