At
we use only American grown soybeans to create our candles. In doing so, we are supporting the American Farmer and doing our part to help the American economy. If soy wax candles were to replace the traditional paraffin wax candle, an estimated 60 million pounds of soybeans would be required just for candle productions. Since paraffin is a by-product of crude oil refining, this would relieve some of our dependency on foreign oil.
Soy is so clean. Candles made from soy wax do not emit the soot and fumes found in a paraffin candle. You have probably noticed the black residue rising from a lit paraffin candle. This residue, or soot as it is most commonly known, stains your walls, furniture, & everything else in the area. You even get this black soot all over the jar, which is, then all over your hands when you try to clean the jar. A soy candle will burn to the bottom of the container. We recommend you only burn to 1/4 in from the bottom so the heat from the flame will not damage your container. Soy is easy to clan up with soap and water. This will allow you to wash your container and reuse.
Soy candles won’t give you a headache! Do you get a horrible headache when around paraffin candles? A lot of us think we can't burn candles because we get a headache. That is before trying a soy candle. It is not the candle causing us problems; it is the paraffin in the candle! Paraffin is a petroleum product, which is a byproduct of oil refining.
Soy candles help our environment. Soybeans are a renewable and biodegradable resource. Candle wax is just one example of hundreds of uses of this versatile legume. Even today, new uses of soy are being researched because of the abundance and growing potential of this bean.
Soy candles help the U.S. economy & farmers. The production and burning of soy wax candles can greatly benefit the American agricultural economy. If soy wax replaced common paraffin wax, an estimated 60 million pounds of soybeans would be required for annual candle production.
Soy candles burn at a much lower temperature. Many people have experienced rather serious burns from candle wax being spilled on their skin. I know first hand the Joy of Soy as my toddler granddaughter accidentally spilled a whole container of liquefied soy wax on herself. While her parents screamed in horror, she screamed because of their reaction. She was wipe off with a towel and she had no redness or blistering, she just smelled real “goode”! I would not recommend allowing children to be around a burning candle as accidents can happen. I can only imagine the outcome of this near tragedy had we been burning a traditional paraffin candle.
Soy Candles burn slower the traditional candles. Soy candles last 30 to 50 percent longer than traditional candles. As an example, a traditional 12 oz candle will burn about 75 hours while a
Natural Soy Candle will burn for approximally 120 hours and you will enjoy the wonderful aroma and tranquil flickering of the flame until the last bit of soy wax is burned. We generally calculate 10 hours of burn time per ounce of soy wax.
Move over paraffin wax. Soy based candles are making their presence known throughout the World.
Soy products are great for your skin. More and more people are realizing that soy is not only good in your body but it is fantastic on your body.
