Reasons to Use Soy

LESS SOOT - Candle soot is the black residue that is left on the jars of paraffin candles. Candle soot may also stain the walls, draperies, furniture, and even the carpets of homes where paraffin candles are frequently burned. Soy wax candles will leave less soot stains on the candle container as long as the wick is kept trimmed.  The amount of soot residue is affected by the wick, how closely the wick is kept trimmed and proper air flow/circulation around the candle.  Burn candle for no longer than four hours at a time.

SUPPORTS THE U.S. ECONOMY! - The soy beans used to make our candle wax are grown right here in the United States. Most paraffin waxes are refined from oil imported from overseas, which does not support the U.S. Economy or American farmers. We support the American farmer, and by buying soy wax candles, so do you!

BURNS CLEANER - Working hand in hand with the “Less Soot” benefit, soy candles also burn much cleaner, in general, than paraffin based candles. This means less airborne particles and harmful contaminants that can be caused by burning paraffin candles. Paraffin contains 11 documented toxins, 2 are carcinogenic. Our soy wax is non-carcinogenic. The soot that is produced from burning petroleum based candles has been documented to be as harmful as second hand smoke.

EASY CLEAN UP! - If you have ever accidentally spilled paraffin wax, you will appreciate this fact. Soy candle wax is bio-degradable and water soluble. Spills can be cleaned with very warm soap and water. Paraffin is not biodegradable. Once your candle is spent, you can clean it with warm soapy water, and get your container re-filled or use for another purpose.

“The American lung Association has warned consumers of unhealthy indoor air quality from burning candles containing petroleum byproducts.”

Soy candles may have a rough or mottled appearance on top.  This is normal and does not affect the candle’s performance.
