Large Soy Candle
Our eco-friendly Soy wax candles are hand poured in small batches and come in four of our most popular scents: Rose and Oud( Pewter coloured candle holder) Oatmeal Milk and...
There are many advantages to using soy wax over normal paraffin wax in candles. Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax and because of this, soy candles will burn slower and longer than paraffin candles. Oils evaporate better from a larger surface area and with the lower heat and larger melt pool soy wax creates a scent that will be that much stronger and longer lasting than that of paraffin wax candles.
Sadly, most candles bought today are still made of paraffin wax. Paraffin wax is cheaper to produce but when burnt it creates highly toxic benzene and toluene (both are known carcinogens). In fact, the toxins released from paraffin candles are the same as those found in diesel fuel fumes. So if we are thinking about our health …and the planet, we should be changing over to either soy or beeswax candles.
Please Note … To make your candles last longer, remember to trim the wick regularly and burn the candle until the whole surface is a molten pool from edge to edge. This is especially important when you light your candle for the first time.
