Honestly, when I first heard of soy candles, I thought, "Yuk, I don't eat soy or tofu or anything like that. Why do I want soy in my candles? After some thorough research, I found out why. Let me first tell you, I am a seasoned Massage Therapist who has done massage in small, enclosed rooms 5 days a week, 8 hours a day for over 15 years. I burn a lot of candles.
Regular candles are made of paraffin wax. I love them for decoration and home decor or burning for short periods of time, like at wedding ceremonies. Really, though, they are made of petroleum bi-products and I don't want to inhale that all day. Do you?
Candles have been used for centuries for celebration, hospitality and nurturing holistic therapy. It is a welcome breath of fresh air (literally) to have a soy wax candle available for everyone, whenever they want. Soy candles are clean burning and will not damage carpets, walls or draperies. They are non-toxic and safe around children and pets. They will not trigger allergies. Soy wax is made from natural soybean oil and does not contain any petroleum or chemicals. Using soy candles creates economic growth for United States agriculture. They are handcrafted right here at home. Scented soy candles have fade-resistant color and radiate their excellent fragrance-holding capacity further than paraffin candles. They are water soluble and any spills clean up easily with a little soap and water. Soy candles burn at a significantly lower rate than paraffin candles which makes them last longer and, therefore, are more cost-effective.
Soy candles appeal to everyone whether they are bought for decoration and home decor, mood enhancemnt, or as an environmentally sensible alternative.
