Ordinary paraffin candles may look OK, but did you know that along with their scent they release harmful toxins into the air you breathe when they burn? The soot they leave is your first clue to the cocktail of chemicals released into the air in your home whenever Petroleum or Paraffin candles are burned. These candles contain a chemical, man made wax which is a residue product of the Petroleum industry, a significant contributor global warming.
Soy candles are the green, clean candles with fantastic properties and benefits. Soy wax, a natural vegetable wax created from Soya beans which is non-toxic, biodegradable and proven to burn cleanly, provides only healthy air and pure fragrances.
In tests they are also shown to be more economical too, their lower melting temperature helps them to burn up to 50% more slowly than chemical paraffin candles. What does that mean? Well great savings, less use of environmental resources and 50% more candlelight and fragrance.
Fragrance and the power to release it into your home is in my opinion where Soy Wax candles excel. In comparisons they've been discovered to be a truly phenomenal carrier for scented and essential oils. Soy wax combines beautifully with oils and holds and releases their fragrant essence in far greater volume and duration than any paraffin wax.
Poor scent release or "Scent throw" from paraffin candles is often the reason why candles can sometimes be so disappointing. I discovered through researching Soy, that paraffin wax doesn't easily blend and cannot hold the concentration of oils to produce the same stunning aroma as Soy candles. In fact the chemicals in paraffin candles fight with their fragrance and break it down. The result is a weak scent that seems to fade when the candle has been alight a while.
Imagine a truly holistic aromatherapy candle that can combine a love of candlelight with the passion for a safe, eco friendly environment for you and our planet, and you have Soy candles. Add this to the fact that Soy candles are more economical, have greater fragrance and are longer lasting and you can see why they're increasing in popularity.
So many people who care about the environment are rediscovering a love of scented candles through trying Pure-Light Soy candles, Tea Lights, Votives or jar candles. I believe Soy candles make it easy to go green and enjoy healthy scented candlelight that's Eco, Vegetarian and Vegan friendly.
