Soy candles are made from soy wax, which is hydrogenated soybean oil. Soy wax was invented in 1992 by Michael Richards who was looking for a cheaper alternative to beeswax. As he entered the candle industry he realized there was a growing demand for natural wax candles. Soy wax is mixed with fragrances to produce scented soy candles.

The production of soy wax candles greatly benefit the American agricultural industry. If soy wax was to replace paraffin wax an estimated 60 million pounds of soybeans would be needed for annual candle production. On the other hand, paraffin candles are a byproduct of oil refining thereby relying on foreign crude oil markets for manufacturing process. Eventually the production of paraffin wax will likely become very cost prohibitive as we continue to deplete the world's oil reserves. Soy wax is a green, sustainable and renewable resource, thereby helping our environment.

Advantages of Soy:

* Soy candles last longer - They can last up to 50% longer than paraffin candles
* Wax spills are easy to clean - It's very difficult to remove paraffin wax from furniture or textiles. Soy wax spills can easily be cleaned up with hot soapy water.
* Soy candles produce less soot - Soot should be avoided because it is very unhealthy and can eventually coat furniture and walls. Soy candles produce about 90% less soot that paraffin candles.
