CLEAN BURNING -- Soy wax is non-toxic and burns cleaner than paraffin, with no petrol-carbon soot which can blacken walls, ceilings, and furniture, contaminate ventilation ductwork in your home, as well as add toxic carcinogens into the air you breathe.
LONG BURNING -- Soy candles burn slower and cooler than paraffin wax, creating a longer burning candle.
RENEWABLE RESOURCE -- Soy wax (from soy beans) is 100% vegetable by-product, and is a renewable source, unlike paraffin, which consists of petroleum.
BIODEGRADABLE -- Since soybeans are vegetables, soy wax is naturally biodegradable. Soy wax is also easier to remove from materials and other surfaces than paraffin wax.
EASY CLEANUP -- Cleans up with soap and water.
HELPS OUR FARMERS -- Soy is grown on American soil and supports our nations economy and farmers. Buying soybean products creates important economic growth for the agricultural sector of the U.S. economy.
Dangers of Paraffin Wax There are many reasons many people avoid buying petroleum (paraffin) products:
Petroleum smoke/exhaust contains many carcinogenic toxins and produces ugly black soot.
Petroleum is not a renewable resource and it is of a limited supply.
Burning petroleum products creates air pollution and contributes to global warming.
Paraffin candles contain at least 11 carcinogenic compounds. There is documented evidence that candle soot particles contain many of the same compounds given off from burning diesel fuel.
Soy candles are simply better for you, your family, and your environment!
