WHY I USE SOY

CANDLES

INSTEAD OF

WAX BASED

CANDLES...

Soy burns cleaner- soy wax is non-toxic and burns cleaner than paraffin. The petrol-carbon that burns in conventional candles can blacken walls, ceilings and furniture over time. It can also contaminate ventilation duct work in your home, as well as add toxic carcinogens in the air you and your family breathe.

Soy burns longer- its proven that soy candles burn slower and cooler than paraffin wax. (My 16oz candles last 120-140 hours, depending on environment. For example: drafts, wick maintenance, etc.)

Soy is renewable- soybeans are renewable. Conventional candles use paraffin which consists of petroleum, a non-renewable resource.

Soy is biodegradable- soybeans are vegetables and are naturally biodegradable. This also makes it easier to remove from materials and surfaces than paraffin wax. Typically, hot soapy water cleans up spills.

Soy candles are more fragrant- soy is a softer substance than paraffin wax and therefore "pools" more. This creates more fragrance than with paraffin candles.

Economic growth for USA- In addition, soybean products create economic growth for farmers right here in the USA.
