Recently many companies have been promoting the benefits of candles made from soy wax. But many people are still left wondering how these soy candles are better than traditional paraffin wax candles. The main difference is that 100-percent soy candles are made from natural soy and vegetable wax. Paraffin wax is a by-product of refined fuel. Basically, paraffin is what’s left at the bottom of the barrel after everything else is extracted from the fuel.
Soy wax candles also burn cleaner, longer and hold more fragrance. Soy candles don’t release any toxins into the air unlike paraffin candles. Paraffin wax can contain many cancer-causing carcinogens and these are released as the candles burn.
Soy candles are also eco-friendly because they don’t rely on fossil-fuel processing for their wax. Soy wax is comes from soy beans and its production puts much less stress on the environment.
