Slow Burning Aromatic Soy Candles As An Alternative To Beeswax Candles
Soy candles replace the usage of beeswax or paraffin with soy wax(a hydrogenated soybean oil). Soy candles were created for the first time in 1992 by Michael Richards, he was searching for a cheaper and better alternative to beeswax.
Scented soy candles are also very appreciated on the market because the combination of some aromatic oil or essence with the wax will produce very high quality candles that burn much more slowly than the paraffin ones, and without releasing the unpleasant burning smell that cheap candles do. Now they can be found in any supermarket, however, for special candle types try decoration shops.
Advantages of soy candles
If we compare soy wax to paraffin several advantages are obvious: soy wax is the missing element between the cheap or unpleasant paraffin candles and the high quality, expensive beeswax alternative. The soy candles are 100% natural and recyclable, this material is preferred by many environmentalists, their strongest motivation is that it is not made from oil, like paraffin, and also have a decent price, much lower than beeswax.
