What is a soy candle?
Advantages of soy candles
Soy candles have to following advantages compared to paraffin wax candles:
Soy candles are cheap - Beeswax is a great natural alternative to paraffin, but to get the same results as a soy-based candle, it is very expensive. Soy wax is a new alternative to paraffin wax that is cost effective. Soy wax is also made from a renewable source.
Soy wax is all-natural - Soy wax is a favorite of environmentally conscious people because it is not made from petroleum, like paraffin candles. Burning of soy candles does not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere.
Soy candles last longer - They can last up to 50% longer than paraffin candles.
Wax spills are easy to clean - It's very difficult to remove paraffin wax from furniture or textiles. Soy wax spills can easily be cleaned up with hot soapy water.
Soy candles produce less soot - Soot should be avoided because it is very unhealthy and can eventually coat furniture and walls. Soy candles produce about 90% less soot that paraffin candles.
Scented soy candles distribute more flavour - The incorporation of soybean oil lowers the melting point of the candle, which translates into cooler burning candles and faster scent dispersion. The lower melting point of soy wax results in a larger size of the liquid wax pool around the candle wick. It is from this liquid wax pool that the essential oils evaporate into the atmosphere.

well to be honest, the only reason why im looking to use thee types of candles is bc i need tealights for my cp's and normal cheapie tealights wont last very long .... if i needed votives or anything bigger, id prob just go the regular candle route
you should look in ac more i was there over the weekend and saw lots of soy candles cant remember about tea lights but worth a try
Yeah that's true. I have a soy candle and that thing lasted forever. It was insane. Def. worth it I'd say.
