Soy wax has many environmental and health benefits and I love working with it so below are some of my favourite reasons why.
Soy candles are vegan! Soy wax is not derived from animals but they are derived from renewable resources - plants making them eco-friendly too. Soy wax burns on average 40-50% slower than paraffin wax, resulting in long-lasting candles and giving you better value for money. Soy washes away with warm soapy water making it easy to repurpose your glasses once the candle has been burnt down. Soy wax is clean burning and doesn't release toxins, carcinogens or pollutants which means it's less likely to trigger allergies. It also won't release petrol-carbon soot like you get from paraffin candles. Keeping the wick trimmed short will also ensure that the candle doesn't smoke and burns efficiently.
