Today, more than ever before, Americans are becoming environmentally conscious. People are beginning to realize the wisdom of valuing natural resources, and putting them to the best possible use. "Going Green" has become a very serious slogan for many companies. For example, banks are opting to go green by offering free online statements, billing and more. The ultimate goal is to use less paper and other goods that ultimately end up in the nearest landfill.
Even candles have gone green with the creation of the well-loved soy candle. Some very creative people have figured out how to use an abundant natural resource like soy to manufacture a different kind of candle with "green" attributes as a priority. The cotton wick really helps to ensure several benefits such as, burning cleaner, longer and more evenly. It also has a stronger scent and is economically sound.
Burns Longer
Soy burns longer than traditional candles. The hemp wick and the composition of the soy, beeswax, and other essential oils that go into creating the candle, make it last longer. This natural candle actually burns 2 to 3 times longer, so it’s better for the environment, and saves money by lasting longer than traditional candles.
Burns Cleaner
Soy does not leave a trail of black soot like traditional candles, but has a white residue often invisible to the human eye, and much healthier for the atmosphere.
Burns Evenly
Soy candles have an excellent reputation for burning evenly. Some standard paraffin candles burn lopsided, and soon the candle drips or sags to the side. Oops! The esthetic beauty of the candle is lost. With soy candles, this is not a problem because they burn at a lower heat.
Stronger Scent
Because soy candles burn at a lower heat than traditional candles, the scent is also tends to be stronger. So, for those who love candles for their aromatherapy and décor enhancing benefits, soy is the way to go. It fills the room with wonderful relaxing fragrance.
Saves Money
With soy candles, consumers still have the same wonderful colors, designs and fragrances of traditional candles, with the added features of environmentally sound beauty and more candles for their money.
Instead of going to other sources for candle making supplies, the supply of soy found within the United States is a major way to support American farmers. This avoids importing candles from other countries and protects the environment.
