Why we use Soy Wax at Arbrook Candles
Introduction
Candles have been an essential part of our lives, candles do multiple things, they add warmth and ambiance to our homes and lives. Candle have direct links to comfort and relaxation. However not all candles take into consideration what you are burning in your home. It’s now trendy and sensible to lean towards using eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives. One such alternative is soy. I want to explore why soy candles are considered a superior choice, compared to paraffin and why you should consider making the switch to eco-friendly options.
Cleaner burning
Soy wax burns at a lower rate which helps with the cleaner burn. Soy wax is made from hydrogenated soyabean oil, this is renewable and biodegradable resource. Paraffin candles, which are derived from petroleum, soy candles do not release the harmful by-products when it is burned. Paraffin releases toxins like benzene and toluene into the air, which you at home are breathing in, they can have a negative effect on your health. Arbrook Candles are committed to providing candles that prioritise clean, non-toxic burning, making them a healthier alternative for both you and the environment.
Renewable and sustainable
Soyabean crops are renewable, and they are an agricultural staple worldwide. Choosing a candle that uses soy supports sustainable farming practices and reduces our dependence on finite fossil fuel resources. The production of soy is an eco-friendly process that has a lower environmental impact compared to the petroleum-based paraffin wax production.
Do soy candles have a long burn time
The ingredients within our candles, burn slower and longer than paraffin candles. This means the value that you’re getting out of your candle is more, as they typically last 30-50% longer.
