Ecological Benefits of Aromatherapy Soy Candles
Aromatherapy soy candles, as the name indicates, are made
from soybeans. Paraffin wax candles are made from petroleum.
But of course, burning soy candles instead of paraffin candles
will not solve the nation’s oil crisis, but every little
bit helps.
Aromatherapy soy candles are also biodegradable, this also
means that they do end up in a landfill they will disintegrate
quickly. Not only that, due to the petroleum, paraffin wax
candles release carcinogens as they burn, some people relate
them to second-hand smoke; soy candles, alternatively, do
not produce these carcinogens.
Other than environmental concerns, aromatherapy soy candles
do have other advantages over paraffin candles. First of all,
they last longer than paraffin candles. Different websites
selling soy products say that their candles last anywhere
from 35 to 50 percent longer than paraffin candles of the
same size. Since high-quality candles are usually more expensive,
having a candle that lasts longer is a money saver.
Another benefit of soy candles is that they are less dirty.
Soot candles are also water soluble, which clean up can be
easy if some wax drips on the shelf, you will no longer need
to get out a knife or letter opener and scrape until the paraffin
comes loose.
Last but not least, soy candles burn cooler and more evenly.
This is why they produce a steady, strong scent throughout
the life of the candle. Some paraffin candles seem to lose
their scent as they burn down.
Good news is aromatherapy soy candles cost about the same
as paraffin wax candles, so it will not cost you a bomb trying
them out. Aromatherapy soy candles are available at different
websites and at many candle stores. You can even make your
soy candles at home. So, why not give them a try?
