Why Scented Soy Candles
Soy wax was invented in 1992 by Michael Richards. He realized there was a growing demand for natural wax candles within the candle industry.
As more and more people became aware of the effects of burning petroleum-based paraffin wax, they wanted an alternative that was not only healthier, but also more environmentally friendly. Soy wax was the answer, as it is made from a renewable resource and produces far fewer toxins when burned than paraffin wax. In addition, soy wax also burns longer and more evenly than paraffin wax, creating a more even and aromatic candle experience.
The Benefits of Soy Candles
Sustainable and Eco-friendly Soy candles are made from soy wax, which is derived from soybeans, a renewable resource.
Conversely, paraffin wax is a by-product of petroleum, a non-renewable resource, which is a by-product of the petroleum industry.
When you choose soy candles, you are choosing an environmentally friendly and sustainable product that is able to last a long time.
Cleaner Burning
Soy wax burns cleaner than paraffin wax, producing less soot and harmful chemicals.
This leads to a better quality of air and a lower risk of allergies or respiratory issues being triggered as a result of this.
Choosing soy candles for your home means you are prioritizing the well-being of your loved ones and yourself at the same time.
Longer Burn Time
Soy candles burn slower and last longer than paraffin candles, offering up to 50% more burn time.
As a result, you will no longer have to worry about replacing your candles as often, which means a longer period of enjoyment of the warm ambiance and delightful scents.
Natural Fragrances
Handmade soy candles often use essential oils or blends of essential oils
and stabilised synthetic fragrances, providing a natural and subtle aroma. As a result they are gentle on the senses and can even offer aromatherapy benefits.
In order to make soy candles, soybean oil must be hydrogenated in order for it to be converted into soy wax, which is the primary ingredient.
By utilizing this process, we are able to transform the oil into a wax that is perfect for making candles.
In addition, soy candles may also contain the following ingredients:
Scent oils or essential oils
Wicks made of cotton or wood
Dye or pigment made from natural sources (optional)
The candle can be enhanced with a variety of additives (e.g., UV stabilizers, vybar) to make it more effective and attractive
How to Choose the Right Soy Candle
Consider Your Space
Think about the size of the room where you'll be using the candle.
Candles with a stronger scent may be required for a larger space, while a candle with a subtler scent tends to be more suitable for a smaller space.
Scent Preferences
You might want to think about what kind of scents you enjoy and how they make you feel when you are around them.
If you were asked to describe your favorite fragrances, would you say flowery, fruity, or earthy?
Browse soy candle collections while keeping your preferences in mind so that you can find the right candle for you.
Purpose
Make sure that you determine what the candle's primary purpose is before you purchase it.
You may be interested in a relaxing fragrance that will help you unwind or an invigorating fragrance that will boost your mood, hence the name?
Choose a soy candle that has the desired scent profile to achieve the atmosphere you are trying to achieve.
Quality
Ensure that the soy candle you choose is made up of good quality materials, such as wax, wicks, and fragrances.
Choose candles that are made with 100% natural soy wax, cotton wicks, or natural fragrance oils that have been blended with high-quality essential oils.
Aesthetics
You should take into consideration how the soy candle is packaged and how it looks.
Is it in line with your personal style and the décor of your home?
Even if the candle isn't lit, it has the potential to enhance the beauty of your space.
