Candle Tips and Facts Why Soybean Candles?
- Soy wax burns cooler, more evenly and lasts up to 50% longer. Paraffin candles burn hotter, faster, and unevenly.
- Soy wax candles burn clean producing very little soot while paraffin is petroleum-based, produces carcinogens, and releases high amounts of black soot polluting the air and
damaging home interiors. When soot is airborne, it is subject to inhalation.
- Soy wax candles are biodegradable and water soluable. Spills clean up easily with soap and hot water.
- Soy candles are non-toxic and non-carcinogenic – the most environmentally safe candle available.
- Our soy candles are made from natural U.S. farm-grown soybeans. Dip your finger in the melting pool and enjoy a warm hand lotion.
Candle Burning Tips
- Place Soy Candles on a heat resistant, dry surface away from anything that can catch fire, and out of reach of children, pets, and drafts. Glass containers may become hot.
- Do not trim wick when lighting the first time. After that, you will notice some "mushrooming" at the top of the wick which is normal for natural wicks – please trim off
to ¼" to ½" and discard before re-lighting.
- If soy candle begins to smoke, it is an indication that the wick is too long.
- Allowing candles to burn until a complete melt pool has formed all the way across the jar will prevent tunneling.
- Discontinue use of candle when ¼" of wax remains. Allowing the candle to burn until no liquid remains will cause excessive heat, and may cause glass to break.
- Do not place the lid on a candle container to extinguish the flame.
- Do not allow direct sunlight to any candle as it may cause a change in candle characteristics.
- Never leave lit candles unattended.
The Dangers of Paraffin Wax Candles
Most candles today are made of paraffin wax, but behind their bright glow is a much darker issue. Most people are unaware that paraffin is a petroleum by-product and that candles made
of paraffin wax may be a threat to your health. After petroleum is processed into gasoline, kerosene, motor oil, diesel, and other fuels, the waste is then used in the production of paraffin.
This waste contains harmful toxins and carcinogens. After burning paraffin wax candles, you may see black soot buildup on your walls, furniture and in the ventilating system of your home.
This soot is similar in composition to diesel soot and is the result of incomplete combustion of carbon containing fuels (hydrocarbons). The paraffin candles, which you are burning, are the
source of this black soot and are what you are breathing into your lungs when you inhale. It deposits unwanted pollutants into our homes and endangers our family and pets. According to
experts, breathing in the soot released by paraffin has been known to cause upper respiratory problems. When petroleum was first used to manufacture paraffin, no one knew of the health
risks involved. We now have documented studies from experts citing paraffin's health risks, yet, companies still continue to manufacture and sell these candles that could be public health hazards.
Soy wax candles offer a much healthier alternative to burning paraffin candles. Candles made
of soy wax are the latest advance in the global candle industry in over one hundred years and have become the new phenomenon across our country. Soy wax is derived from the oil of
soybeans. This vegetable wax provides an environmentally safe and very affordable alternative with which to illuminate your world. Soy wax is all natural, non-toxic, carcinogen free, burns
significantly cleaner and cooler than paraffin, is biodegradable, water soluble (cleans up easily with soap and hot water), burns 30-50% longer than a paraffin wax candle, provides a better
scent throw, is cost competitive with paraffin wax, is a renewable resource, and supports our American Farmer. Soy candles provide a demand for soybeans that are produced in the
Heartland of America. What a bonus it is to know that when lighting up your home with soy candles it promotes the agricultural sector of the U.S. economy. |
