Why soy wax...?

Why soy wax...?

-Soy Wax is non-toxic and cleaner-burning being made with no toxins, carcinogens, or pollutants which means our candles are less likely to trigger allergies.  As a vegetable-based wax, it does not give off any harmful byproducts or produces black soot that can stain walls and curtains like the other leading waxes. When paraffin wax, which made from petroleum burns, it emits harmful chemicals such as toluene and benzene. Both these chemicals have been linked to the development of asthma and lung cancer.

-Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax and because of this, soy candles will burn slower and longer than paraffin candles. Oils evaporate better from a larger surface area and with the lower heat and larger melt pool soy wax creates the scent that will be that much stronger and more pleasant.  

-Soy wax is easier to clean because it is biodegradable. It can be easily cleaned up with soap and water.

-Soy Wax is Natural, Renewable and Vegan derived from the soybean. This wax is a hydrogenated vegetable oil that turns to a solid at room temperature. You can even make your own soy wax from soybeans at home
