Soot. Soy wax also has a lower soot level than paraffin candles, so you have fewer soot deposits. Soy wax does not release any petroleum-based chemicals, thus keeping your home’s air quality safer.
Soy Wax is Natural, Renewable and Vegan. It is a 100% natural wax derived from vegetable soybeans. Soy Wax is a renewable, biodegradable natural resource. Great for environment, U.S. farmers and the U.S. economy.
EPA. Environmental agencies, like the EPA, warn against using paraffin candles, especially if you have anyone with respiratory issues living in your home. Even though the soot levels are low, the tiny particles can penetrate the lungs, which can be dangerous for people with pre-existing lung conditions.
The melting point of soy wax is lower than that of paraffin wax, resulting in slower and longer burning of soy candles. Due to the larger surface area and lower heat of soy wax, oils evaporate more effectively, resulting in a stronger and more pleasant scent.
Soy Wax is non-toxic and cleaner-burning. Made with no toxins, carcinogens or pollutants, our candles are less likely to trigger allergies. Soy wax is vegetable-based, so it does not give off any harmful byproducts or produce black soot that can stain walls and curtains like the other leading candles.
