What
are ALL NATURAL SOY CANDLES and what are their advantages?
Soy
candles have the following advantages compared to paraffin wax candles:
- Soy
candles are cheap - Beeswax 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.
- 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.
- Soy
candles last longer - soy candles last 50% longer
than paraffin candles.
- Soy
candles spills are easy to clean - It's very difficult
to remove paraffin wax from furniture or textiles. Soy wax spills
can easily be clean up with hot soapy water.
- Soy
candles produce less soot - Soot is very unhealthy
and should be avoided. Soy candles produce about 90% less soot
that paraffin candles and thus help to maintain air quality.
- Scented
soy candles distribute more flavour - The incorporation
of soybean oil lowers the melting point of the candle, which translates
into cooler burning candles and faster scents dispersion.
- Soy
candles can last up to 50% longer than candles made of petroleum-based
paraffin, the ingredient found in most candles.
They also burn slower and cooler (helping to better distribute
fragrance), are non-toxic, less likely to trigger allergies, clean
up with soap and water, and soy wax does not give off black soot.
Soy is also a favorite of environmentally conscious consumers.
Made from American-grown soybeans, its biodegradable, a renewable
resource, and from a global point of view, it "supports the
US economy instead of foreign oil conglomerates
