Benefits of Soy Candles

Soy wax for candle making is one of the most popular waxes today. It is obtained from soybeans. First, the beans are pressed to obtain oil, after which the oil is hydrogenated to obtain wax. Thus, we get a product that does not contain toxic substances. Soy does not emit dangerous toxins when burned and is safe for inhalation by adults and children since its production is not as aggressive as the production of paraffin.

Advantages of soy wax:

• Natural and environmentally friendly. Soy is a renewable source of soybean oil. Soy wax candles do not emit harmful substances and carcinogens when burning and do not smoke.
• Burn time. Soy wax burns more slowly and evenly than paraffin, with a much lower melting point. Thanks to this, soy candles are much more economical and will please you longer.
• Convenience. If a candle falls over, it is easy to clean clothes or a tablecloth. The undoubted advantage of soy candles is that they are easier to remove from the container when completely burned. Just pour hot soapy water into a glass container, let it settle, and the remaining wax will rise to the surface.
• Health Safety: Since soy wax is made from plants, it does not harm your respiratory system or your physical health.
• High-quality aroma release. Soy wax has the property of capturing aroma perfectly, as it has no smell of its own and has a high density.
