Did you know that there are several different waxes used when making Scented Candles?

Many of you want to live a healthier lifestyle through organic foods, all natural skin and body products etc, but you may not be aware of the harmful effects of burning traditional paraffin wax candles in your home.

Fortunately, soy-based candles can help with virtually soot-free burning with the additional benefit of cool burning and hence better fragrance release.
Paraffin wax is a derivative of kerosene so it is not surprising then that paraffin wax candles release soot into the air when burned and this soot can settle on your walls and surfaces and even be breathed in by you and everyone around you.

In contrast, soy-based wax candles are derived from all-natural soya beans that are grown all around the world.
Soy is made by hydrogenating the oil of soya beans, which are a renewable resource limited only to how many soya beans are grown.

Therefore, they support the farmer and help to relieve some of our dependency on oil and because it is made of natural products, it is also biodegradable and not as harmful to our planet’s health.
An additional benefit of soy candles is the lower temperature at which they burn.

So it’s not hard to realise that they will therefore last longer (up to 10 hours per ounce) and continue to throw their room-warming fragrance for many hours after a traditional candle has burned out.

So, while many people buy their first soy candles as a "healthier" alternative to the traditional paraffin candle, most continue to purchase them for so many more reasons!
They are a bit more expensive than paraffin wax Scented Candles but as they burn more slowly and release much more fragrance they often work out to be better value for money.

So there you go "Soy candles are the very best"
