Choosing Soy
Soy has become
the healthier alternative! In recent years, soy and vegetable wax has been
culminated and implemented in candle development. Soy wax components are
completely non-toxic.
Soy candles last
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 produce very little soot. These factors
tend to make them more animal and child-friendly than traditional candles.
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."
