Which candles are the best candles??

Last time we spoke about paraffin candles & their side effects. So are there any better candles in the market that are budget-friendly & no repercussions to humans?? Certainly yes, Soy wax candles. Soy wax candles are made from soy wax. Soy wax is a vegetable wax derived from soybean oil. After soybeans are harvested, they are cleaned, cracked, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from these flecks and hydrogenated. In the process, unsaturated fatty acids present in the oil are saturated, thereby dramatically altering the oil's melting point. It then solidifies at room temperature. They also don’t produce any unsightly black soot, which is not only a pain to clean, but is a health hazard as well. 

Benefits of soy wax

  • Soy wax is derived from a vegetable, (soybeans), while it's counter partner, paraffin wax is derived from petroleum (a refined a gasoline product).
  • Soy wax is a natural, renewable resource.
  • Soy wax is biodegradable and cleans up with plain old soap and water.
  • While soy candles tend to be slightly more expensive than their paraffin alternatives, you also get more for your money. Soy wax burns at a cooler temperature, meaning that your candle will burn for more hours than a paraffin candle of the same size.
  • Soy wax burns with zero Petro soot, creating Petro soot free candles. 
  • By buying soy wax products, not only are you helping to support soybean farmers, but you’re also ensuring that the newest addition to your home decor burns clean and won’t detract from your air quality.
  • Soy Candles are Vegan - If you abstain from using animal products, then you might find candle shopping to be a frustrating endeavor. So many types of candles, use animal products! Beeswax comes from the hives of beeves, tallow comes from the fat of animals, and some wax even comes from whales or dolphins. Soy candles are 100% vegan and do not require any animal products in their production or use.
