Soy candles would be superior to paraffin candles in every way even if soy candles weren't the environmentally friendly choice. Soy candles, for one thing, burn up to 50% longer then paraffin candles, and cost less, making soy candles a better value than paraffin candles.

Soy candles burn cleaner. This is also an environmentally sound reason to prefer soy candles over paraffin candles ? paraffin candles, which are a by product of petroleum, contribute to greenhouse warming and environmental pollution (eww!). But leaving that aside, the soot from paraffin candles gets on your walls, on you furnishings...in your lungs! Paraffin candles produce many of the same toxins as dino-diesel fuel, coming from the same source: petroleum. Soy candles on the other hand burn virtually soot free.

Soy candles clean up easier. In fact with soy candles, you can even clean candle wax out of your carpet. Soy candle wax cleans up quickly out of clothes and off furnishings. Try that with paraffin candle wax. Actually don't try that with paraffin candle wax please, as it won't come out.

Soy wax is made from soybeans, and soybeans are non-toxic. Paraffin candles are made from petroleum, and that is toxic. You can actually eat a Soja soy candle, although trust us, the Blueberry Cobbler only smells and doesn't taste like one!

Scented soy candles smell better. Soy wax burns more evenly and coolly, so the aroma of a scented soy candle is fuller and richer than a scented paraffin candle. The wonderful rich scent of a scented Soja soy candle fills your home with a wonderful aroma that you will truly love. Our scented soy candles come in over 20 delicious aromas: flavors like BlueBerry Cobbler, Sugar Cookie, Carrot Cake, and more. Plus, other memory evoking scents like Freshly Cut Grass and Mimeograph Machine are what makes Soja soy candles unique and special. But superior soy wax ensures you get the most enjoyment out of them.

With all-natural soy candles so much better than oily paraffin candles it wouldn't matter if soy candles weren't any better for the environment than paraffin candles?soy candles being a better value, soy candles being more fragrant, not to mention being able to clean soy candle wax out of your carpet. But in fact, soy candles are so much better for the environment than paraffin candles that soy candles would be preferable to paraffin candles even if they weren't a better value.

Soy wax Soja Candles, as we mentioned before, are made from soybeans, a plant crop grown by American farmers here in Heartland of the U.S.A. The modest amount of gasses emitted by soy candles are reabsorbed by next year's soy crop. Soybeans are a renewable resource that benefits America, unlike petroleum which is an ever more finite?and expensive?resource that is imported mainly from the volatile Middle-East, at a far greater cost than that which is shown at the checkout.

Burning a paraffin candle is similar to running a petrol-based internal combustion gasoline engine in your home - you're burning a fossil fuel. For this same reason paraffin candles are a surprising contributor to global warming. Paraffin candles releases dark, black soot and toxic gasses into the atmosphere where they harm the environment?and there are a lot of paraffin candles out there. Don't contribute to that, burn Soja soy candles instead, a clean candle and a clean conscience and a cleaner environment.
