What's so good about soy candles opposed to a quick pick-me-up candle?

Eco-Friendly + Renewable - If you didn't know, we're about to let you in on a little secret. Many, many candles - heavily emphasized, out there are made using toxic products. The chemicals can be detrimental to your well-being in the long-run and it's a big no no to be breathing in those fumes. On top of that, they aren't very eco-friendly either. Typically, these candles are known as paraffin wax candles and are made from petroleum oil. Take that perspective in for a minute and ponder on where else petroleum oil is used. Think of the ripple effect. If you keep on taking in something that isn't necessarily the best for you, it may eventually catch up in the long-run. With our hand-poured, soy wax candles - we chose an eco-conscious approach. Why? Because as a family business, we use our own products too and we wouldn't want to be breathing in toxins that hurt our health or the health of our planet. That's why we believe in also treating others with the same level of respect, ensuring quality products that result in both a pleasurable and health-benefitting experience. 

Well where does soy wax come from and why is it a renewable source? Soybeans can be turned over into vegetable oil and soy wax comes from soy beans. Ever wonder why soy beans are such a popular staple food amongst several parts of the planet? One can always grow more soy beans and, breathing in soy wax is not going to cause a negative impact on your health. It is safe to say that this makes soy wax pretty much plant-based. Chemical-free and nature-oriented is what we're talking about!

Longer Lasting Scents Please - Think of the wonderful feeling you get from receiving a beautifully packaged, brand new soy candle. Something you would probably want to thoroughly savour right? You will be pleased to hear that soy wax candles are made to burn longer and they have a stronger fragrance naturally. Soy wax is known to have a lower melting point, essentially resulting in a cooler burn compared to a paraffin wax candle. Who doesn't want the experience of a well-paced, aroma-pleasing, natural candle? A sanctuary of consistent scents as beautiful fragrances emerge from the melting wax of your candle, taking its sweet time to burn.

Cleaning Should Be Easy! - Sometimes a moment of oops can occur...say you accidentally may have knocked your candle over. It absolutely is not fun to clean up but perhaps this will bring some ease - soy wax is pretty easy to clean up compared to the nature of paraffin wax, which you would probably have to really scrub. All you need to clean soy wax up is some soap and hot water, give it a mild scrub or two, a few wipes and voila, all gone. 

Less Soot, Less Buildup - An inevitable fact is that all candles emit soot whether we like it or not. However, there's a bright side to this. Soy wax candles emit way less soot compared to the nature of paraffin wax candles. No one likes a rusty-looking candle jar that starts collecting buildup after a few uses. After all, it is about enjoying aromas that come from an aesthetically-pleasing candle jar. We will let you in one tip though. To ensure an optimal and clean burn all the way through, you don't want to burn your candle for more than four hours per each use and always trim the candle wick prior to using.
