At Candle Wonders, we care about healthier homes and a greener planet. When we concluded our research in the beginning, one thing that we knew for sure is that we would NOT use petroleum-based paraffin wax for our candles! We tested quite a few waxes before settling on soy as our preferred wax of choice.
Why Soy Wax?
Environmentally Friendly:
Renewable Resource: Soybeans are a renewable crop, unlike petroleum-based paraffin wax.
Biodegradable: Soy wax is completely biodegradable, minimizing its impact on the environment.
Cleaner Burning: Soy wax produces significantly less soot and toxins than paraffin, making it a healthier choice for both you and the air quality in your home.
Additional Benefits:
Longer Burn Time: Soy wax candles generally burn slower and longer than paraffin candles, providing more enjoyment for your money.
Even Burn: Soy wax tends to burn more evenly and cleanly, reducing the risk of tunneling (where the candle burns a hole down the center).
Stronger Scent Throw: Soy wax has a better scent throw, meaning the fragrance is more effectively released into the air, creating a more aromatic experience.
Healthier Choice:
Reduced Soot: Less soot means less mess to clean up and a healthier environment for your lungs.
Fewer Toxins: Paraffin wax can release harmful chemicals when burned, while soy wax is a cleaner and safer alternative.
