Soy Wax Candles Benefits
Soy wax is made from soybean oil, which is a natural and renewable resource that can be sustainably grown. Soybeans are a crop that is widely cultivated, making soy wax an abundant and environmentally friendly alternative to paraffin wax. The oil is extracted from the soybeans and undergoes a hydrogenation process to turn it into a solid wax.
Soy wax candles have become more popular in recent years due to their numerous advantages over traditional paraffin wax candles. They offer a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable alternative for lighting your home. A superior choice for those who care about quality and sustainability.
