Soy Wax Candles

The soybean or soya bean is a species of legume native to East Asia. It is an annual plant that has been used in China for over 5,000 years both as a food and a component of drugs. Soy has always been a good source of protein and is used in many processed foods, including dairy product substitutes.

Humans, being an inventive race, have also discovered that the soya bean produces a wax from which candles could be made. Soy candle wax was discovered in 1991 but it has already become a very popular wax for candle making.

There are a number of advantages of using soy wax. Firstly, soy is a natural and long lasting material. It is much less expensive than other natural waxes such as another popular natural candle making material, beeswax and furthermore soy candles also produce less soot than synthetic candle waxes, making them cleaner to use.

Soy bean wax has many advantages over other types of candle-making wax. One of the main reasons that Soy wax is so popular is that it is a natural, renewable material, making it popular with those who care about the environment. Soy Wax candles do not include petroleum (a non-renewable resource) or other environmentally unsafe ingredients that synthetic waxes may contain.

Finally, soy candles are much easier to clean up if spilt, as soy wax can be easily cleaned using hot, soapy water.
