Soybean wax was
originally created by Michael Richards in 1993. He found this versatile product
as a substitute to beeswax. Soy candles are usually made from soy wax, which is
derived from the soybean oil. These candles have a lower melting point than the
other ordinary candles and hence they are usually container candles, but with
the additional mixtures and components. Soy wax can also be transformed into
pillar candles. Beeswax, paraffin or palm wax is also used to make soy candles
by blending up these different waxes.
The sweet
scent or fragrance is the fundamental necessity of scented soy candles. These candles are believed to be an
earth-friendly alternative, because they're biodegradable and long-lasting than
ordinary candles. Different fragrant oils deliver different scents when integrated
in soy wax. One of the positive aspects of scented soy candles is that they
burn for a longer period of time than the other traditional candles. They are
environmental friendly in nature as a result they are considered to be
healthier, moreover they do not adversely affect persons with breathing
problems and they are non-toxic as well.
There are however,
various controversies about the eco-friendly nature of the scented soy candles.
They are not always free of soot as they contain added fragrance, colors as
well as other mixtures but lesser amount of pure wax. Nevertheless
being a natural product, scented soy candles are much healthier and better suited
for the environment as they are renewable and there is almost no petroleum
residue to fight against the sweet scent. Scented soy candles burn cleanly and for a longer period of time. It is the fragrance
that evaporates in the atmosphere giving a lovely aroma which fills the place
where they are burnt.

Another
benefit of scented soy candles is
the fact that since it is renewable, the candle makers do not have to rely on
the oil industry to provide them with paraffin which are used to make
traditional candles. With the increase in the prices of oil and paraffin, scented
soy candles are a good and healthy alternative to these regular candles. They
can also be cleaned up from the furniture and candle holder with warm water and
soap. Because of the lower melting point of the soy wax, accumulation of the liquid wax pool around the candle wick enables essential oils to evaporate into the atmosphere filling the room with a strong, pleasant and
lasting scent.
