Please if you do not know the difference between Paraffin wax candles and Soya wax candles please read this…. The difference is the wax. Paraffin wax is the final by-product of the petroleum refining chain. Its whats leftover...even after the asphalt is extracted! It releases potentially harmful petroleum pollutants in the air, including several known carcinogens, according to the EPA. You may find that burning a paraffin candle leaves the surrounding furnishings and walls covered in a black residue. This certainly doesnt seem like something youd want to breathe-in, either. There have been many studies done suggesting even more health risks from burning paraffin wax. Rather than continuing to focus on how bad another type of candle might be for you, we recommend you do a little research on paraffin for your own peace of mind, and well shift the focus to soy wax. Soy wax is made from soy beans, which are a renewable resource that is grown. This vegetable wax burns much cleaner and does not produce the toxins that paraffin emits. Also, soy wax burns at a lower temperature than candles made with paraffin wax. This gives you not only a healthier environment, but a candle with longer burn times. Additionally, because of the lower temperature at which a soy candle burns, and if the candle is wicked properly, the soy candle will leave minimal wax residue on the sides of the container as it burns. Soy wax is biodegradable and just plain environmentally-friendly! So before you buy your candles please think of the health risk you could be putting on your family by buying cheap Paraffin candles.. alway make sure your candles are Eco Friendly Soya candles not only for the Environment but for you and your family.
