Why Soy?

Why buy soy candles?

Soy candles burn cleaner.  They give off up to 90% less soot.  Some makers claim their candles are soot-free, which isn't entirely accurate.  If there is fire, there is soot. Soy does not have all of the additives other candles like paraffin do, so the soot output is significantly less!  Other factors also effect how much soot is given off, such as cotton vs zinc wicks, and wick length.  If you are getting black soot on your container, the wick may be too long and the fire is causing a reaction with the glass.

Soy candles are healthier.  Relating to less soot, since candles have less additives and are made from a plant instead of petroleum, they don't have the carcinogens that paraffin candles do.  They are cleaner, and healthier!

Soy candles last longer.  Soy candles can last up to 50% longer!  Soy burns longer and slower.

I buy soy grown in the USA, so you will also be supporting US farmers!
