Advantages of Soy Candles

You might be asking yourself, “are soy candles better than traditional paraffin candles?” Now, this is a great question, and if you have a minute, we'd like to tell you about some of the advantages of soy candles. First and foremost, soy is a renewable resource, so the supply of soy has virtually no end to it. Along with being renewable, soy is also biodegradable, meaning once you are done using the soy, it'll return to the earth to become soy once again. Being a resource that is both renewable and biodegradable would also mean that, compared to traditional paraffin candles, these soy candle counterparts have a smaller carbon footprint, which is good for the planet.

Now, if you think the advantages of soy candles end at helping Mother Earth, you'd be mistaken. Let's talk about how soy candles can benefit you. First, soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, so your soy wax candles will burn slower than paraffin wax candles. This advantage means that soy candles will last longer than paraffin candles, which saves you money overall. Another great benefit that comes with soy candles is zero petro carbon soot. Petro soot is what results from the burning of a paraffin candle because paraffin is actually a by-product of petroleum. In other words, don't allow yourself to inhale the by-product of the stuff that makes your car run. Choose a happier, healthier, and greener life by choosing soy candles over paraffin candles.
