What's The Big Deal With Soy Wax?

 

There are many advantages to using soy wax for making candles.

  • It’s environmentally friendly – Soy wax comes from soybeans and is naturally biodegradable.   Soy wax is also easier to clean up, just use soap and warm water.
  • Soy is a renewable resource -Soybeans are a resource that can be replaced at a rate comparable or even higher than the rate of consumption.  And soybeans can be produced at this rate with no damaging effects on the ecosystem.
  • Soy wax burns cleaner – Soy wax is non-toxic and burns cleaner than paraffin wax.  Burning soy wax does not release hydro-carbons, make black smoke or leave a sooty residue like paraffin wax wax does.
  • Soy wax burns longer – Soy wax burns slower and at a cooler temperature than paraffin wax, which means your candles can last 30%-50% longer.
  • Supporting local farmers – By using soy wax, we’re supporting the local farmers who grow soybeans. This helps nurture the economic growth of our countries agricultural system.

Simply put: Soy candles are better for you, your family, our economy and our environment!
