6 Benefits of Soy Candles: 

Here are six reasons why soy wax is so good.

1. Renewable Resource

Soy wax is a 100% renewable resource, and since it’s locally grown in the U.S., it has a lower carbon footprint. Easy to cultivate, with only about three months from planting to harvest.

2. Non-Toxic Burning

As a 100% natural wax, soy wax contains none of the pollutants that may be released into the air when burning other waxes, and additionally, it produces less soot. This makes for better indoor air quality, which is especially great for people with respiratory conditions or allergies. 

3. Free from Pollutants

Soy wax is made from just one, entirely natural ingredient, and doesn’t contain any harmful pollutants, which makes soy candles safe to burn indoors. They’re also completely biodegradable.

4. Vegan

It’s already been mentioned, but it’s worth another repeat – there are very few candle waxes out there that are suitable for vegans since most contain traces of animal or animal-derived ingredients. But candles made from 100% soy wax are entirely vegan.

5. Burning Time

Soy wax has a lower melting point than both paraffin and beeswax, which means that it burns for longer and more evenly. Gone are the days of untouched wax all along the walls of your jar candle – soy candles leave barely any wax behind. 

6. Pet Friendly

As mentioned above, soy wax has a lower melting point, which reduces the risk of burns, should your pet come in contact with the wax. Soy wax is free from harmful chemicals and toxins that could be released into the air when burned. This means your pets are less likely to inhale potentially dangerous substances compared to some other waxes that might contain additives or synthetic ingredients.
