These days you can find soy almost everywhere around, which includes in your milk, nuts, chips and even burgers, and now soy is also in your candles! Soy candles are of new kind and of rising popularity. These offer a lot to all the candle lovers in the world who cherish to live with fresh perfume burning each and every day in their home!
Some one had to say during a casual dinner: “if it lasts longer it’s acceptable with me”. Take the comment for what you will, that person could have meant a multiplicity of things by it. But generally people prefer durable items to those that are tiny in life span. It is known to all that soy candles last 20 to 50 percent longer than the traditional candles. The average 14 oz candle, similar to Yankee candles which are of larger size, lasts about 75 hours. In case of a soy candle, it would last more than 100 hours and the odor just as sweet as any traditional candles!
Traditional candles are known to source soot in and around the whole area where they are lit. Just consider grayish-black opaque-smelling fog that clouds the top of your candle jar, on your walls! In traditional candles soot is the causes of toxic elements which are unconstrained when ignited. However, soy candles are totally natural and do not restrain any toxins, and at the same time no soot gets propagated.
When a traditional candle is burning carcinogens get emitted into the air. Carcinogen is one of the causes of cancer and other health related problems. Soy candles do not produce carcinogens.
So, while purchasing candles give a thought to the old cliché - better safe than sorry.
