Benefits of Soy Candles

Soy candles are made from all natural renewable ingredients. By purchasing soy candles you are helping American farmers. Once the soy beans are harvested they are pressed into wax flakes. These flakes along with natural dyes and scented oils are used to create a premium candle. These candles have a wide variety of benefits over traditional candles.
  • Made from an all natural renewable resource
  • Burns cleaner than traditional candles (No black soot around the top of the jar)
  • Supports US farmers
  • Lasts 50‰ longer than traditional candles
  • Soy Candles are made with non-toxic materials
The benefits of soy candles extend beyond the renewable source and farm benefits. When burned, soy candles last longer because they burn cooler than traditional paraffin wax candles. Additionally, soy candles are less likely to trigger allergies because they burn cleanly and do not produce as much soot and smoke. Though they are not 100% soot free there is a noticeable reduction in the amount of soot while the candle is burning.  You can clearly see the difference when a soy candle is burned along side a paraffin candle. Soy candles do not produce the black ring of soot that forms at the top of many popular candles.
