WHY SOY WAX?
Soy wax is a 100% natural wax derived from vegetable soy beans. Soybeans are one of the major agriculture crops grown in the United States. Most of the world’s soybeans are grown and harvested close to home for us living in the Midwest. After the beans are harvested, they are then cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. Soybean oil is extracted from the flakes and the left over flakes are used for animal feed.
Paraffin wax, one of the most popular candle waxes due to its cheap costs, is derived in a contrasting way. Paraffin wax is the product of the oil purification process from petroleum, coal, or oil shale. When you remove the waxy substance from crude oil, you’re left with paraffin wax - gross!
Soy wax is made from environmentally friendly, renewable resources; whereas classic paraffin wax is made from petroleum and is non-renewable. Not only are there “green” advantages to choosing soy wax over a different type of candle wax, but soy wax also burns slower than paraffin wax, meaning you get a candle that lasts longer. Soy wax burns cleaner and results in less soot making it another reason why soy wax is an excellent fragrance carrier that does not require chemical amplifiers. The result of a well-balanced true to scent candle.
