The benefits of soy candles are as follows:
• Soy candles are made from soy wax, which is hydrogenated soybean oil. • Soy wax is a new alternative to paraffin wax that is cost effective. • Soy candles are environmentally friendly! Soy wax is not made from petroleum. Burning soy candles does not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere. • Made from American-grown soybeans, it's biodegradable, a renewable resource.
Since soy candles are less likely to trigger allergies, those who have pets and/or small children are more apt to burn soy than any other type of candle. There are even health benefits to burning soy candles vs. the traditional type candles. Most traditional candles cause soot. If you’ve ever seen a black film lining the jar of a candle or even if you’ve seen a black mark on the walls or ceiling near where a candle is being burned, then you’ve seen soot. Soot is caused by the toxic elements in traditional candles that are released when ignited. Soy candles are all natural and do not contain any toxins, which means very little to no soot.
Soy wax is water soluble, which means it is much easier to clean up if spilled. Soy wax also holds color and scent much longer. Soy candles are a much better value because they will burn 30-50% longer than paraffin. There you go! Now you know all the benefits of soy candles!
