Why do you only use Soy Wax for your candles?
There are lots of great advantages to using Soy Wax not least because it burns longer than paraffin so it gives better value for money! Some other advantages are ;
• It is 100% natural wax which can be removed with just soap and water.
• It is a pure vegetable wax and extracted from soy beans husks which are a sustainable crop which can be grown again and again.
• It is vegan friendly and alcohol free.
• It is kosher.
• Less likely to trigger allergies.
Why do Soy Wax Candles burn longer than paraffin based ones?
Soy wax burns cooler which means that you can enjoy your soy wax candle for generally 30-50% longer than a paraffin candle. Soy candles generally need a cooler burning wick depending on how much fragrance oil and dye is used, the more used, the hotter the wick most likely that you'll need. So soy candles burn longer because the wick is not burning as hot and therefore the wax is not burning off as fast as regular paraffin candles.
