What are Soy Candles?

Soy candles are made from soy wax, which is hydrogenated soybean oil. Soy wax was invented in 1992 by Michael Richards who was looking for a cheaper alternative to beeswax. As he entered the candle industry in 1991 he realized there was a growing demand for natural wax candles. Soy wax is often mixed with fragrances to produce scented soy candles.

Soy candles have the following advantages compared to paraffin wax candles:

• Soy wax is all-natural - Soy wax is a favorite of environmentally conscious people because it is not made from petroleum, like paraffin candles.
• Soy candles last longer - soy candles last 50% longer than paraffin candles.
• Soy candles spills are easy to clean - It's very difficult to remove paraffin wax from furniture or textiles. Soy wax spills can easily be clean up with hot soapy water.
• Soy candles produce less soot - Soot is very unhealthy and should be avoided. Soy candles produce about 90% less soot than paraffin candles and thus help to maintain air quality.
• Scented soy candles distribute more flavor - The incorporation of soybean oil lowers the melting point of the candle, which translates into cooler burning candles and faster scent dispersion.
