What are soy candles?
Soy wax candles are made from pure 100% natural soybeans. A renewable sustainable biodegradable resource requiring plant growth. The soy plants are grown free from pesticides and herbicides. The wax contains no genetically modified material.
Soy wax is an excellent choice for those who wish to burn environmentally friendly candles. In fact it's so natural the raw wax is actually edible and without colour or fragrance could be used for cooking!!
Benefits of soy candles.
- Soy candles are longer, cooler and cleaner burning than traditional paraffin candles. Soy candles produce about 90% less soot than paraffin candles.
- Soy candles have excellent scent throw. The lower melting point of soy wax results in a larger pool of melted wax forming around the candle wick. It is from this pool of wax that the essential oils evaporate into the atmosphere.
- Soy candles are easy to clean up with hot soapy water eliminating the need for solvents.
- Soy candles can last up to 50% longer than paraffin candles.
