The Benefits Of Soy

Why Burn Soy Candles?

At Candles & Candies you can be assured that our Jar, Votives, & Tealight candles are 100% soy wax. Some intricate specialty candles may contain a small amount of paraffin, but very little. We create soy candles because they are:

• Clean Burning

One of the most famous benefits of soy candles is how clean they burn. Soy wax doesn't not produce black soot like paraffin does. While some might say "no soot", it's actually "little soot". Everything that burns puts off smoke, and soy candles are no exception. However, the amount of smoke released from soy wax is so minimum, there are very few that notice it.

• Promoting Farmers

Help the farmers and everyone benefits. Soy beans are grown in American fields, and processed into soy wax in the US as well. This is one of the most important benefits of soy candles! Support our farmers and our economy!

• Cost Effective

A point which sometimes isn't included in many lists of the benefits of soy candles. You may be shocked by this point, but in many cases soy wax candles can be more cost effective than paraffin. Not only in quality, but in quantity too. Soy not only burns cleaner, but slower too. A soy candle can burn up to three times as long than parafin, giving you twice the candle.

• Wonderful Scent Throw

When it's said that a candle scent "throws well", this means it fills the room with a strong, lasting scent. Soy wax candles not only have a great scent throw, but also have a cleaner smell. It's been noted by many that paraffin wax will give them headaches. Of course it's not the scent itself, but the additional chemicals the paraffin is putting off. Because soy burns so clean, you'll get a cleaner scent as well.

• Clean Up With Soap & Water

Soy wax cleans up with just hot soapy water so the containers are all re-useable. Candles & Candies pours their candles in decorative jars because we know that you can re-use them!
