Candle Tip

Cleaning Up Spilled Wax
• Spilled wax solidifies so when it hardens it can be removed in pieces. Cover it with several paper towels or a brown paper bag and gently press with a warm iron. The wax will melt and be absorbed into the paper.

Renewable Source

Paraffin contains petroleum and with the unexpected increases in the price petroleum every day, people are interested in using less petroleum and looking for alternatives. Soy is plentiful and always a renewable source. Because soybeans are renewable, they are considerably cheaper because they are readily available. Use of soy candles and you will be supporting the American farmer.

Many people prefer soy candles over paraffin because they are 100% natural. Paraffin candles contain more than 11 carcinogenic compounds, which are not only harmful to the environment but also harmful to the body. This is visually evident in the black soot around the candle jar. Soy candles are nontoxic and do not emit any petrol-carbon soot, which can blacken walls and add toxic carcinogens to the body. For the eco-conscious, soy candles are also naturally biodegradable and is easy to remove from any surface. Most soy candle wicks are often made from natural h**p as well.

Why Burn Soy Candles?

Those who have burned soy already have seen the benefits of soy candles, your health and the environment first hand. As with most soy wax candle websites, it's our pleasure to present the facts, myths, and benefits of soy candles.

Clean Burning

One of the most famous benefits of soy candles is how clean they burn. Soy wax doesn't not produce the black soot like paraffin does. While some might say "no soot", it's actually "little soot". Everything that burns puts off smoke, and soy candles are no exception. However, the amount of smoke released from soy wax is so minimum, there are very few that notice it.

If you have ever had a soy wax candle in the past that did leave black soot around the jar, there are several reasons this may have happened. One explanation is it wasn't 100% soy, but rather a soy/paraffin blend. Many advertise "soy candle" have unknown blends that you may not catch unless you search deep into their site. If it doesn't say 100% or tell you what's in the candles, watch out.

Another reason you see black soot could have been the use of metal wicks. While no candle made in the US has lead, they can have zinc. Zinc wicks are not toxic like lead, but they will produce more soot than cotton or h**p wicks.

So, if you are looking for a good quality soy candle instead of paraffin try 100% soy when you buy.
