Welcome to Soy Candles Plus. We are a retailer of soy candles. Soy candles are made from soy wax, which is hydrogenated soy bean oil. Soy wax was invented in 1992 by Michael Richards, who was looking for a cheaper alternative to beeswax. As he entered the candle industry he realized there was a growing demand for natural wax candles. Soy wax is often mixed with fragrances to produce scented soy candles.  Soy candles have many advantages compared to paraffin wax candles: Soy candles are inexpensive - Beeswax is a great natural alternative to paraffin, but to get the same great results as a soy-based candle, it is very expensive. Soy wax is a new alternative to paraffin wax that is cost effective. Soy wax is also made from a renewable resource as compared to paraffin which is made from petroleum Soy wax is all-natural - Soy wax is a favorite of environmentally conscious people because it is not made from petroleum like paraffin candles. Burning soy candles does not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere. Soy candles burn longer - They can last up to 50 percent longer than paraffin candles. Wax spills are easy to clean - It is very difficult to remove paraffin wax from furniture or textiles. Soy wax spills can be easily cleaned up with hot soapy water. Soy candles burn almost completely soot free - Soot should be avoided because it is very unhealthy and can eventually cause coating of furniture, walls, and ceilings. Soy candles produce about 90% less than paraffin candles.  Scented soy candles distribute more aroma - The mixture of soybean oil lowers the melting point of the candle, which causes into cooler burning candles and faster scent dispersion. The lower melting point of soy wax results in a larger size of the liquid wax pool around the candle wick. It is from this wax pool that the essential oils evaporate into the atmosphere.
