Facts About Soy Wax
Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soy beans. After harvesting, the beans are cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the flakes and hydrogenated. The leftover bean husks are commonly used as animal feed.
Soy wax candles can be called soy wax if there is as little as 25% soy wax used. 100% pure soy wax candles melt like oil so they must be melted in a container. Aroma Candles only uses 100% pure soy wax in all candles, tealights and melts.
CLEAN BURNING - Soy wax is non-toxic and burns cleaner than paraffin, with no petrol -carbon soot which can blacken walls, ceilings and furniture, contaminate ventilation ductwork in your home, as well as add toxic carcinogens into the air you breathe.
BIODEGRADABLE - Since soybeans are vegetables, soy wax is naturally biodegradable. Soy wax is also easier to remove from materials and other surfaces than paraffin wax. Spills, drips and jars clean up in hot soapy water. No more messy paraffin wax clean-ups.
LONG BURNING - Soy candles burn slower and cooler than paraffin wax, creating a longer burning candle, which equals better value for money for you.
HELP THE FARMERS - Soy candles are made from the wax of the soybean plant. Soy beans are grown and harvested on agricultural farms, so when you buy soy candles you will be supporting the farming community.
WONDERFUL SCENT THROW - When it's said that a candle scent "throws well", this
means it fills the room with a strong, lasting scent. Aroma Candles not only have a great scent throw, but also have a cleaner smell. It's been noted by many that paraffin wax will give them headaches. Of course it's not the scent itself, but the additional chemicals the paraffin is putting off. Because soy burns so clean, you'll get a cleaner scent as well.
Soy candles are better for you, your family, your environment and your wallet!
