Why are Soy Wax Candles Becoming So Popular
Soy wax candles are made from hydrogenated soybean oil making them a more natural product. Soy wax is a cheaper alternative to using beeswax and creates a long lasting and clean burning candle. Soy candles can be combined with different fragrances and essential oils and come in all colors and shapes. There are many benefits to using soy wax when you want to learn how to make candles on your own. Creating soy wax candles can be a very satisfying and rewarding hobby.
Some of the advantages of using soy wax to make your own candles include:
· Soy wax candles produce less soot than paraffin wax candles
· If you spill some of the soy wax when you are learning how to make soy candles, it is easy to clean up.
· Soy candles burn at least 50% longer than candles made from paraffin wax
· Burning candles made from soy wax does not increase the level of carbon dioxide in the air
