1. WHY ARE SOY CANDLES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHERS? Due to the higher cost in locally grown soybeans, the cost for wax is higher as well. We believe that buying USA products is extremely important to our economy’s growth. Our candles will burn up to 50% longer, so although the initial cost seems higher, your candle will last much longer than other paraffin candles. A top quality hand-poured soy candle will cost $1-$1.50 per ounce and should burn 5-8 hours per ounce.2. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOY AND PARAFFIN? Paraffin is made from petroleum, which is a limited resource. Burning creates indoor air pollution, including a number of hazardous carcinogens and also creates heavy soot residue which is difficult to remove or clean. On the other hand, soy wax is made from soybeans and vegetables, which are both renewable resources. Soy burns cleaner and purer from its all-natural, non-toxic form. Soy is also biodegradable which leads to less filled landfills.
3. HOW DO I CARE FOR MY SOY CANDLE? To ensure your candle burns properly, you should know that soy candles have a “memory burn”. It is very important to allow your candle to form a full melting pool, especially during its first lighting. Trim your wick before each use to 1/8”. Never burn a candle for longer than 4-5 hrs. Avoid moving a burning candle and keep away from children and pets.
4. WHY DO SOY CANDLES HAVE A DIFFERENCE APPEARANCE? Due to the softness of natural wax, some of the fragrance can cause the candle to become yellowish over time and/or exposure to light. The wax can also display a “snowflake” appearance over time. Nature is her own artist, we cannot take the credit for her beautiful markings, but we do assure this does NOT affect the burn or quality of your candle.
5. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO SOY CANDLES? Soy wax is a high quality wax that burns cooler and slower, being a much safer choice for those who have children or pets. Soy wax is also easier on people with respiratory concerns and has been proven less likely to trigger allergies.
6. DO YOU CARRY AROMATHERAPY CANDLES MADE WITH ESSENTIAL OILS? After much research, we have concluded that it would not be wise to carry these kinds of candles. Essential oils, though natural, are very fragile. Heating the essential oils can damage their natural structure, converting them into toxic hazardous chemicals. We desire to protect the integrity of therapeutic essential oils and the professionals who utilize them by not using them in our candles. Instead, we use only the best premium fragrant oils which are complementary to our specially formulated natural wax. Our candles provide you with an aromacoloy experience that satisfies your senses and evokes your inner most emotions and memories. Light your favorite SOYful Scents candle and enjoy your next aromacology experience. |
