Benefits of Soy Wax Candles
Hand-poured soy wax candles offer a range of benefits that make them an attractive choice for consumers:
1. Clean Burning
Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin, producing little to no soot. This means fewer toxins released into the air, making them a healthier choice for homes, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
2. Longer Burn Time
Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin, allowing candles to burn slower and last longer. A high-quality soy wax candle can burn up to 50% longer than its paraffin counterpart.
3. Better Scent Throw
Because soy wax burns at a cooler temperature, fragrance oils are released gradually, providing a consistent and pleasant scent experience. The even burn ensures that the scent lingers without becoming overpowering.
4. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Soy wax is derived from renewable soybean crops, making it a sustainable choice.
