This holiday season surprise your sweeties with aromatic hand-crafted soy candles. These candles do hold the upper hand in fragrant burning — here are their benefits:

Soy candles are 100% natural. Made with soybeans, soy candles are produced by renewable grown sources. Contrarily, paraffin candles are made of petroleum, a non-renewable resource that contains carcinogens.

Lighting a soy candle ensures cleaner burning with noticeable less soot. Paraffin candles release a significant amount of black soot that is visible and collects around the jar and its surrounding.

Soy candles are also non-toxic and won’t release toxins in the air as they burn.

Additionally, soy candles are also longer lasting than paraffin candles. The reason behind longevity of soy candles is the slower burning time and cooler burning temperature of the soybean-based wax. This wax is also highly biodegradable, making soy candles the more environmentally friendly option.

Lastly, soy candles are just better smelling. Soy wax is popular for holding on to essential oils and releasing them gradually. This makes the transition to sweet-smelling surrounding more gentle rather than a heavy wave of scent that paraffin candles emit.
