Soy Candle Benefits
There are so many great reasons to choose soy over a paraffin based candle here are some of the more important reasons:
- Natural - Soy wax is derived from vegetables a natural, renewable resources; paraffin is derived from petroleum - a limited resource.
- Non-Toxic - Soy wax is 100% all natural and is non-hazardous; paraffin wax emits harmful vapors which contain carcinogens (cancer causing agents) and petro chemicals.
- Cleaner - Soy wax burns cleaner; paraffin wax emits black soot.
- Less Mess - Soy wax cleans up with soap and hot water; paraffin wax is difficult to remove and you may need tools to clean it off, possibly never removing all the residue paraffin leaves behind.
- Longer Lasting - Soy wax burns 35% to 50% longer; burning paraffin may produce carcinogens.
- Wastes Less - Soy wax burns completely; paraffin wax may not burn completely, wasting some of the product you paid for and making it hard to reuse any containers it comes in.
- Green - Soy wax is completely biodegradable; Paraffin wax contains petroleum by-products and additives that inhibit biodegradability.
- Performance - Soy wax releases fragrances naturally, faster and longer; paraffin must be blended with chemicals to be able to release fragrance.
- American Made - Purchasing soy products supports the American Farmer; purchasing paraffin products supports the oil industry.
