Soy wax is quite new to the candle market, it was in 1991, when a man by the name of Michael Richards, started looking for a alternative more economical wax to replace beeswax. Michael Richard tested many different natural plant waxes and finally ended up with soy bean wax. |
| Soy wax is a vegetable wax that is made from soybean oil. Soybeans are harvested, cleaned, cracked and rolled into flakes. After this is done then the oil is extracted from the flake and hydrogenated. This process changes the melting point of the oil making it a solid at room temperature. Most of our soybeans come from Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. |
WHY IS SOY SO IMPORTANT US  |
| Soy candles are cheap - Soy wax candles burn cooler so they last longer than paraffin candles. Soy wax is a new alternative to paraffin wax that is cost effective. Soy wax is also made from a renewable source. Soy wax is all-natural - Soy wax is eco friendly, environmentally safe, because it is not made from petroleum, like paraffin candles. Burning of soy candles does not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere. Soy candles last longer - They can last up to 50% longer than paraffin candles. Wax spills are easy to clean - It's very difficult to remove paraffin wax from furniture or textiles. Soy wax spills can easily be cleaned up with hot soapy water. Soy candles produce less soot - Soot should be avoided because it is very unhealthy and can eventually coat furniture and walls. Soy candles produce about 90% less soot that paraffin candles. Scented soy candles distribute more scent - Soybean oil melts cooler and lowers the melting point of the candle, which translates into cooler burning candles and faster scent dispersion. The lower melting point of soy wax results in a larger size of the liquid wax pool around the candle wick. It is from this liquid wax pool that the essential oils evaporate into the atmosphere. Now that we got all that out of the way try one of our soy candles today, you will be pleased! |
