What do you need to know about soy candles?
Soy candles are the perfect choice if you are looking for eco friendly candles. First, due to their low melting point, soy candles are often packaged in glass jars that you can reuse. They are also affordable compared to other eco alternatives like beeswax candles.
Also, soy candles have a clean and healthy burn, meaning it will not produce any black soot. Your walls will remain clean, and any items around the burning candle will also not collect any soot. In addition, the air around you will not have any pollutants that are common with paraffin-based candles. Soy Wax is soluble in water, which means that you can clean and reuse a container that has soy wax candles without worrying about poisoning.
