Soy candles have become very popular in recent years due to the many benefits of soy wax. More and more people are turning to eco friendly solutions and using products that promote a healthy earth. Soy wax meets the ‘green’ standard because it is not processed like other types of wax. Therefore, one of the main benefits of burning soy candles is that they are great for the environment.
Here are the top five benefits of soy candles:
Burns Cleaner
Soy wax is made from soybeans, which means it is a vegetable by-product and it does not produce black soot like paraffin wax.
Burns Clearer
Soy wax melts into a clear oil that is not hot to the touch. You can dip your finger in the candle and even use the wax on really dry parts of the skin.
Burns Longer
Soy wax candles burn slower and cooler than paraffin wax, which means that they burn up to 50% longer than paraffin wax.
Great Scent Throw
A throw is how far a scent will travel in a room. The throw depends largely upon the type of scent. Some scents are not as strong as others. However, soy wax is able to hold a fragrance well, which creates a great scent throw.
Easy To Clean
Soy wax is very easy to clean up. It doesn't harden like other wax. Simply wipe with a wet cloth, and it comes right off of practically any surface.
The bottom line: soy candles are earth, human, and pet friendly, do not produce black soot, burn clean and clear, burn longer, smell great, and are easy to clean. Many candle lovers have made the switch, have you?
