Why SOY?

Why are soy based candles better than regular wax candles you ask? Well here are just a few key points of the soy candles:

*Soy candles burn slower and cooler (helping to better distribute fragrance) *Average burn time is around 50-70 hours.

*They are non-toxic and less likely to trigger allergies 

*Soy candles clean up with soap and water 

*Lastly, they produce very little soot. 

These factors tend to make them more animal and child-friendly than traditional candles. 

Soy wax is also a favorite of environmentally conscious consumers. Made from American-grown soybeans, it's biodegradable, a renewable resource, and from a global point of view, it "supports the U.S. economy instead of foreign oil conglomerates."  Where as paraffin wax, on the other hand, is made from petroleum and produces toxins and soot when burned. In fact, one air quality research stated that the soot from a paraffin candle contains many of the same toxins produced by burning diesel fuel. Even many of the seemingly healthy, aromatherapy candles sold today can do more harm than good.
