Soy doesn’t just make candles but it’s also a natural alternative to other waxes that are less environmentally friendly such as paraffin. Soy is considered a renewable resource due to the fact that it is grown extensively and readily available.

Soy wax candles are much slower burning due to their lower melting point when compared to paraffin.

Soy candles are considered to be non-toxic as they are clean burning, meaning they don’t produce soot when burned. Since paraffin is derived from petroleum, paraffin candles produce what’s called petro-soot that can cause irritation to those with allergies or short of breath.
