Why Soy Candles?
Well I asked myself that same question when a friend gave me a Soy Candle as a gift. I had heard about Soy Candles but never really paid attention to why Vegans and other environmentally conscious people would buy them instead of the regular wax candles. Well after doing some research I discovered why. Paraffin, the wax used to make regular candles is a byproduct from the petroleum refining process used to produce gasoline and other toxic fuels.
Could it be true that for so many years I had been poisoning my friends and family members? Well from that day on I began my pledge to bring Soy Candles to every household by educating the public on the benefits of Soy Candles.
Not only are Soy Candles better for your health than Paraffin Candles, they also offer these benefits:
- Burn Longer - Soy Candles in general burn longer than Paraffin candles because they burn more efficiently and at a lower temperature. Don't be surprised to see that some of our small Soy Candles can burn for many hours. In some instances Soy Candles can burn 50% longer than Paraffin candles.
- Burn Cleaner - If you have burned Paraffin Candles you know how they stain your walls and courtains from the extreme amounts of soot that they produce. Soy Candles burn cleaner so they produce much less soot meaning you will be able to enjoy beautiful clean walls, ceiling, and courtains.
- Biodegradable - Since Soy Wax is made from Soy Bean Oil derived from Soy Beans, they easily biodegrade without harming our envirnoment.
- Easy to Cleanup - If you have ever had to clean up a Paraffin wax spill you know how much work it is to clean, well Soy wax being vegetable based is much easier to clean. With hot water and some dish washing soap you will be able clean up a spill in no time.
