Why choose soy candles over regular candles?

Have you ever heard of soy candles? Recently, they have become increasingly popular with candle-makers because the ingredients to make them are much more accessible, they are less harmful to the environment and the candles themselves burn longer than traditionally-made candles. Soy candles come in various fragrances, including tropical mango, island citrus and water lily just to name a few. The wax in soy candles is made from soybeans instead of paraffin (a petroleum). Soybeans are readily available and create a better wax substance that can burn much longer than paraffin can. Since soy wax comes from a crop in the ground and is also free of petroleum, these candles are less likely to cause allergic reactions in users and are environmentally friendly!

Soy candles typically come in containers and are highly malleable in heat, meaning they don’t lose their wax to melting and you can use them repeatedly. People typically choose a candle for their fragrance and aesthetic qualities – and soy candles are no exception. One amazing combination is soy wax hand poured and combined with coconut oil, which creates a beautiful finish and excellent aroma.

Bubble Shack Hawaii is a soy candle-making company that creates handmade candles with organic & pure vegan products. They claim that the benefits of these candles include:

- Hand poured candles with 100% US soy and vegan products for a beautiful finish and even burn

- Vegan candles double as massage oil when lit, providing ultimate moisture

- Stronger, longer and cleaner burning than paraffin and beeswax candles

- Free of petroleum and rainforest-depleting palm wax

- Biodegradable and less likely to trigger allergies

By using soy candles, it looks like you can help the environment and get your money’s worth by enjoying longer-burning candles. Definitely worth a try!
