Comparing on affordability and quality soy candles are in between paraffin and beeswax handles. Paraffin candles are the lowest price candles but also of lower quality while beeswax candles are more expensive and of higher quality. Soy candles provide a very attractive compromise between price and quality.
Michael Richards created soy candles in 1992 when he researched a cheaper and better alternative to beeswax candles.
Soy candles are made from soy wax, which is hydrogenated soybean oil.
One of the advantages of soy candles is that it burns much slower than the paraffin candles. It also does not emit the burning smell that one gets with the cheaper candles.
It has also been found that mixing some aromatic oils and essential oils with the soy wax produces a very high-quality candle.
For people who care about recycling, soy candles are 100% natural and 100% recyclable. This is an attribute of soy candles that is applauded by almost all environmentalists.
Due to the nature of their composition soy candles burn approximately 50% longer than their paraffin counterparts.
Any candle is bound to deposit some of its hot liquid on your table or tablecloth. Cleaning the deposits of soy candles is much easier than paraffin or beeswax candles. Soap and hot water are usually enough to remove any spots left by the candle.
Soy wax candles also produce less soot; in fact they produce approximately 90% less soot than paraffin candles.
This is very important for your family's health and well-being, especially if you have small children around the house. Many people in the health and well-being fields will tell you that burning a lot of paraffin candles in the house is not good for your family's respiratory systems.
It has also been found that the aroma of scented soy wax candles appears to be released more easily and is therefore more easily noticed in the surrounding air.
Soy wax candles give you an economic alternative with superior quality and added health benefits for your family.
