Soy Candles
-
Soy candles are made
from hydrogenated soybean oil. Soy candles burn cleaner than paraffin
candles and are better for the environment. Soy candles are mainly sold
in the US.
-
Since its development in
the mid 90s, soy wax has become a popular medium for making candles.
Candle lovers who are health conscious prefer soy wax because it is an
organic compound that releases no toxins when burned. Environmentally
sensitive consumers like the fact that it is derived from soy beans, a
renewable resource.
-
Due to its low melting
point, soy wax burns cooler, longer, and safer than paraffin, the most
common compound used in candle making. This feature also allows
fragrances to be released into the air faster. Anyone who has ever tried
to remove candle wax from virtually anything will appreciate the ease
with which soy wax cleans up—hot soapy water, a little elbow grease and
viola! You're done. Additionally, soy wax is nearly soot-free when
burned.
-
Soy wax is also a
favorite of environmentally conscious consumers. Made from
American-grown soybeans, it's biodegradable, a renewable resource, and
from a global point of view, it "supports the U.S. economy instead of
foreign oil conglomerates.
