Soy candles have become increasingly popular over the last few years. Soy wax is a renewable resource, produced from natural U.S. grown soybeans, whereas most candles are made from paraffin, an imported byproduct of the oil industry. Buying soy candles supports the American farmer, creates U.S. jobs and helps reduce our nation’s dependency on crude oil. Soy wax is environmentally friendly and burns cleaner than paraffin candles. As an added bonus, soy wax burns longer than paraffin wax.
