Soy Candles

First let’s explain what a scented candle is.  It is made with fragrant oils that are mixed into the wax.  This allows the candle to give off a pleasing aroma when  just sitting or when being burnt.  They can be used in any room of your house.  Keep in mind that you can match the fragrance to the room you want to place it in.  Scented candles can create an atmosphere of peacefulness in your home.  Something to  keep in mind is that some scented candles like incense and paraffin wax give off smoke when being burnt.  Scented soy candles do not do this, as they are made from a natural Eco friendly resource, the soybean.  There are no toxins in soy wax candles or petroleum byproducts to produce the smoke. 

Quality scented soy candles will produce a pleasing aroma when sitting or when being burnt.  A poor quality scented candle will not produce that pleasing aroma once lit.  It will only smell before it is lit.  How do you tell the quality of the scented candle you are about to purchase?  Here are some tips.

1. Look for “triple scented”.  This means the blend of wax used can hold their fragrance oils and not sweat them out.  They use a different blend of wax that can hold 1.5 oz of fragrance oil per pound.  This is 3 times the old standard.  Thus they will produce a pleasing aroma when burnt.
2. Some candle makers use a blend of wax that will hold even more fragrance oil.  They are super scented candles.
3. Look for a candle maker that guarantees their products or will give your money back if not satisfied.

Gourmet scented soy candles come in all shapes and sizes.  Certain fragrances can create a relaxing mood and enhance your well-being.  They can also help with odors in the home.  Popular scents are apple pie, bayberry, cinnamon spice, ocean mist, vanilla, coconut, chocolate, jasmine, caramel and sandalwood.  The list goes on and on for possibilities of scents to enjoy.  Your home will love you when you give it the gift of a scented soy candle!
