Soy Candles Vs Paraffin Candles

So in this blog I am going to discuss the differences between soy candles and paraffin candles and see who comes out the winner. Cough, Cough, it’s going to be soy candles and here’s why:

Paraffin Candles

Paraffin candles have been around for since the mid 19th century and have always been the most popular type of candle. What you would expect in this candle is just paraffin wax right? Well not so fast, many candles still to this day contain stearic acid which is mixed into the paraffin wax. So any time you burn one of these candles where do you think the acid is going? You got it, it’s going into the air and you are inhaling it. It’s pretty well known that traditional candles do in fact give off chemical by products that when inhaled in large quantities can be toxic.

Since these types of candles are so popular all of the big stores and manufacturers are mass producing these things. Which to no surprise could lead to inferior wax and mixtures. Do you really want to trust these candles anymore?

Handmade Soy Candles

Unlike the traditional candle, soy candles are a recent invention and is in large part thanks to people getting tired of the status quo. As I have mentioned before soy wax is a renewable source and therefore eco-friendly. It also has a slower melting point which makes these candles last longer and even burn longer and cleaner.

So what happens when bring organic to the soy candle market? Well you get a handmade soy candle that is 100% natural.  The only thing mixed in our candles are the essential oils that give off the sweet smell. By the way, our soy candles also contain more scent than standard candles. I think it’s clear that soy candles are the winner so head over to our website and make the switch today.

Why Soy Candles Are Better

When you think of candles what do you think of? Do you think of the regular  paraffin wax candles that all the big box stores sell? Did you know that  paraffin wax when burned can release some chemical byproducts that can be harmful if exposed to over a long time. The good news is that you are not limited to the traditional candle anymore and there are other options. One being handmade soy candles made with all natural organic soy wax. Unlike their counterpart our candles do not release chemical by products into the air when they are burned. You may be thinking, so what, there’s all sorts of chemicals in the air. Well there are other benefits to soy candles such as the following.
