Soy Wax Candles

One of the newer innovations in candles is the creation of soy wax candles. In comparison to parrafin wax, soy wax does not produce carcinogens and soot when burned. This is great for environmentally conscious candle users because is is biodegradable and a renewable resource. 

Soy wax candles are non-toxic and much safer for homes with children and pets. Although most people do not know it, most regular candles are highly toxic. Because it is not specified in the packaging, we just assume that they are 100% safe for us and our families. Soy candles are also beneficial for your home because they produce less soot, which ruins furniture because it is almost impossible to clean.

Another advantage to using soy wax candles is that they are easier to clean. A re-usable candle holder is no good if it takes so long to clean the old wax out. Soy wax is water soluble, which makes the cleaning almost completely effortless. They also burn cooler and much longer than candles made from normal parrafin wax. In most imported candles, the wick contains lead. Soy wax candles also eliminate this unhealthy product by using purely cotton wicks in their products.

People who often use candles for aroma therapy might be surprised to learn that the carcinogens they are inhaling are just as bad as second-hand smoke. Soy candles are ideal for aroma therapy because they will give the same positive results but without all of the dangerous health risks. For people who burn candles on a regular basis, it is highly recommended to start burning the safer alternative to maintain good health.

Soy candles are not difficult to find because they are becoming the only safe alternative to regular wax candles. They don't cost any more than a normal candle and they have all of the same uses, without any disadvantages to you or your families' health.
