Why Soy Candles? Benefits, Features of Soy Wax

Benefits of Green Scents Soy Candles

Soy candles are becoming popular around the world due to their many benefits. There are many advantages to burning soy candles over paraffin or beeswax candles.

The benefits of using Green Scents Soy Candles are:

All natural, made with 100% pure soybeans (our soy wax is laboratory tested for purity - please see below), a healthier and environmentally preferable alternative to regular paraffin candles. Click here for a comparison of soy and paraffin candles.

Do NOT release toxins when burned - clean burning with NO petro-soot emissions (which means cleaner lungs and no black walls)

Cotton, lead free wicks - your Green Scent soy candles will have absolutely NO traces of lead, which has been proven to be carcinogenic, trigger respiratory problems and affect IQ.

NO petroleum, paraffin or beeswax products, which can appear in vegetable and other soy waxes - 100% vegetable based GUARANTEED!

Manufactured from food grade soy beans, also meeting Kosher criteria.

NO Genetically Modified Material

Biodegradable with NO pesticides or herbicides used

Our soy wax comes from sustainable and renewable agricultural sources

Hand crafted and poured in Canberra, Australia. We hand make all our candles starting with the raw ingredients to the finished product. We prepare all containers, jars and pillars - including the wicking of the candles - by hand.

Low melting point - so our soy wax candles burn cooler, longer and are safer than paraffin candles. This also allows fragrances to be released into the air from the top of the candle to the bottom. You can enjoy your favourite fragrance until the candle has completely burned down - this is also great value for money!

Our soy wax is water soluble and can be easily cleaned from glass, tin, and other material for efficient recycling and re-filling. No need to worry about wax spills and no need for chemical solvents!

Our scented soy candles are saturated with our high quality fragrance oils with excellent scent throw. Read more about our fragrance oils. We also offer an unscented and natural coloured soy candle option for each container/jar style.

Animal Friendly - not subject to animal testing and contains NO animal byproducts (including no beeswax). Suitable for vegans.

Very stable allowing for long shelf life (when compared to other soy waxes) - there is no experienced shelf life with our soy wax due to the quality of our wax

You will be supporting the worldwide farming industry rather than the petroleum industry.

BUYER BEWARE : Be careful when buying soy wax candles - are you buying 100% pure soy candles? You should study the label. There are soy wax candles on the market that are made from a combination of soy wax and paraffin wax - they can be called "Soy Blend" candles or just plain "Soy" candles.

Relax in the knowledge that when you buy Green Scents candles you are getting soy candles that are made from 100% pure soy bean wax.

The only blended wax candle that we make is our all natural soy/palm wax pillar candle.You can read more about why we blend these two natural waxes here at Soy/Palm Wax Pillar Candle.
