The Benefits of Soy Wax Candles
Candles have a magical way of creating ambiance, bringing warmth and light to your everyday life, and filling spaces with delightful fragrances. However, not all candles are created equal. At Sweet Water Decor, we are proud to use a soy wax blend for our candles, and today we want to share their numerous benefits.
1. Eco-Friendly and Renewable
Soy wax is made from soybean oil, a natural, renewable resource. Unlike paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum, soy wax is biodegradable and has a much smaller environmental footprint. By choosing soy wax candles, you are supporting sustainable agriculture and promoting eco-friendly practices.
2. Cleaner Burning
One of the most significant advantages of soy wax candles is that they burn cleaner than paraffin candles. Soy wax produces little to no soot, reducing indoor air pollution and the risk of staining walls or ceilings. This cleaner burn makes soy wax candles an excellent choice for those with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to smoke and soot.
3. Longer Burn Time
Soy wax melts at a lower melting point than paraffin wax, which means it burns more slowly and evenly. As a result, soy wax candles typically last longer than their paraffin counterparts, providing more hours of enjoyment. This slow burn also means you get better value for your money, as your candle will last significantly longer. (Our largest vessel has a burn time of over 70 hours!)
4. Better Scent Throw
The lower melting point of soy wax allows for a larger melt pool around the candle wick, which helps to disperse the fragrance oils more effectively. This results in a stronger and more consistent scent throw, filling your space with delightful aromas. Whether you prefer floral, fruity, or woody scents, soy wax candles ensure a more enjoyable fragrance experience.
5. Non-Toxic
Soy wax is a natural product, free from the harmful chemicals often found in paraffin candles. When you burn a natural soy wax candle, you can rest assured that you are not releasing toxins into the air. This makes soy wax candles a healthier choice for you, your family, and your pets.
6. Easy to Clean
Accidental spills happen, but with soy wax candles, clean-up is a breeze. Since soy wax is biodegradable and water-soluble, it can be easily removed from most surfaces with soap and warm water. This convenience makes our candles an excellent option for households with children and pets.
Soy wax candles offer a multitude of benefits, from being eco-friendly and clean-burning to providing a superior scent throw and longer burn time. At Sweet Water Decor, we are dedicated to creating high-quality soy wax candles that enhance your home and well-being. Next time you shop for candles, consider making the switch to soy wax and enjoy the many advantages they have to offer.
