SOY – THE SOLLUTION TO THE POLLUTION!!
Soybean wax replaces petroleum wax for the candle, packaging and medical fiber industries. Soy is the "solution to the pollution". Clean burning soybean wax was first created by inventor Michael Richards in 1993 in Iowa where most of the soybeans in the United States are grown. For more information contact the Iowa Soybean Board or Iowa State University Dept. of Agriculture and Food Science. Soy wax is a novel product solution where everyone wins: consumers now have a clean burning candle from sustainable sources, and farmers have a rapidly growing new market for their crop. Soy wax is the first wax innovation in the candle industry in over 100 years. Soy wax candles are now becoming the candle industry standard for the twentieth first century. Soy is cost competitive with petroleum wax. Soy is the future of the global wax industry.
Paraffin wax is a by-product created by the refining of petroleum for gasoline. As paraffin burns, it emits toxins into the air, known as petro-carbon soot. These emissions have been found to be as harmful to humans as second-hand cigarette smoke. Due to the fact that the odors of Aromatherapy products are meant to be inhaled in close quarters, paraffin candles pose the risk of contaminating and corrupting any health benefits they might offer even if they are scented with the best essential oils.
Soy wax offers a clean-burning alternative to paraffin. It is an entirely vegetable based wax that is environmentally sound and healthy for your home. There are a host of reasons to choose soy, and now you know! The best reason, however, is that soy is the best value and the best product for you and your family!
In addition to being a fantastic way to make our candles, the soybean has many other uses and great traits.
