5 reasons you should burn soy candles in your home

You may be asking yourself what EXACTLY is a soy candle? well lets just say...its AMAZING! and the benefits are endless! Soy wax is a vegetable wax which is made from the oil of soy beans. After the beans are harvested, they get cleaned, cracked and rolled into a flake form. The farmers then remove the remaining oil and hydrogenate them (which converts the fatty acids from unsaturated to saturated, allowing the soy wax to remain a solid at room temperature). The remaining bean husks are usually used for animal feed.

#5. NON-TOXIC AND BURNS CLEANER THAN MOST OTHER WAXES

Soy candles burn cleaner than most waxes because it does NOT contain carcinogen (a substance that could cause cancer). Many other waxes like paraffin contains carcinogen.

#4. SOY CANDLES LASTS LONGER THAN MOST CANDLES

Yep, you read that right. Soy candles can burn twice as long and even three times longer than most other candles! My small 8oz soy candle took about 70 hours to burn! Isent that AMAZING?!?!

#3. EASY TO CLEAN

Have you ever spilled wax? I most certainly have...especially on carpet (sorry mom). Good thing soy wax is easy to clean up. All you need is soap and hot water. On the other hand, other waxes...are more difficult to get out, and you might need chemicals and a really strong arm to remove these kinds of stains.

#2. SOY CANDLES ARE BETTER FOR OUR ECONOMY

Believe it or not, candles also have a strain on our eco system. Billions of people use them. Like for decorations, weddings, gifts, lighting etc. But millions of candles that are not eco friendly could hurt our eco system. For instance, paraffin wax is petroleum based. Oil companies that need to drill for petroleum comes with an ecological price. which can be a lot higher than you can imagine. Also soy wax is biodegradable so leftovers does not hurt the environment.

#1. BUYING SOY CANDLES HELPS SUPPORT FARMERS, AND SMALL BUSINESSES

Soy beans are the key ingredient to soy wax candles. They are mostly grown in Indiana, Iowa and Illinois. So each time you purchase a soy candle chances are, your supporting small businesses like mine and also U.S. farmers, rather than supporting an oil company.
