Soy Wax Candle
Benefits
 The
majority of all candles are made with paraffin wax, a petroleum
based by-product of refined gasoline. Studies have shown that
carcinogens released by paraffin wax candles are as dangerous
as second hand cigarette smoke and can cause harm to the heart,
lungs, circulatory system, and nervous system. This is not only
a health concern, but also an environmental concern. Paraffin
wax candles release carcinogens into the atmosphere when burned
similar to that of gasoline being burned by an automobile.
Our candles are made with an all natural soybean base wax enhanced
with botanical oils and have the following advantages over paraffin
wax candles.
