Benefits of Soywax

Soybean candle wax is the first innovation in the candle making industry in the last 100 years and when you see the benefits you will agree that it is the most exciting thing to happen to candles since they were invented.

Soy candles are clean burning with no sooty residue, have a low melting point, which means they burn cool. This allows their pleasant aromas to quickly scent the air. Made from a renewable resource, using no petroleum-based paraffin, the candles are available in many wonderful scents.

Soy bean candles will be very helpful for the American Farmer. When soybean candles represent just 10% of the existing candle market, it will require an additional 55 million pounds of American grown Soybean oil.
