The Candle Everyone’s Talking About: Clean, Chic, and Zero Waste
The Real Difference Between Organic Soy Candles and Conventional Candles
Candles add warmth and ambiance to any space, but not all candles are created equal. The type of wax used affects how cleanly a candle burns, how long it lasts, and even the air you breathe. Let's explore the difference between organic soy candles and conventional ones made with paraffin wax.
What Are Organic Soy Candles?
Organic soy candles are made from natural soybeans, a renewable and biodegradable resource. These candles are free from synthetic additives, dyes, and petroleum byproducts. Soy wax burns cleaner and slower, offering a better experience for both your home and the environment.
Benefits of Soy Candles
- Cleaner burn with minimal soot
- Longer-lasting burn time
- Even and gentle fragrance release
- Eco-friendly and biodegradable
What Are Conventional Candles Made Of?
Most conventional candles use paraffin wax, a byproduct of petroleum. These candles may contain synthetic fragrances, chemical dyes, and additives. When burned, paraffin can release toxins into the air and create visible black soot.
Drawbacks of Conventional Candles
- Can release harmful chemicals like toluene and benzene
- Produces more smoke and soot
- Not biodegradable or renewable
- May affect indoor air quality
