Aromatherapy soy candles
- best of both
The sharp increase in the
popularity of soy candles has naturally spread to that other
popular product, the aromatherapy soy wax scented candle.
This interest sometimes makes it difficult to remember that soy
wax has been on the market only since the early 1990's, when it
was invented by an American, Michael Richards.
He was looking for something to replace paraffin wax and while
beeswax was the obvious alternative, he finally came up with
something less expensive...
Soy wax
advantages
For those interested in aromatherapy, soy wax offers a
number of advantages that can make it preferable to normal
candle wax.
- It has all the usual soy benefits - a natural wax that
burns up to 50% longer than paraffin wax:
- produces less soot;
- and is very easy to clean. Spilt soy wax can be easily
cleaned up with hot soapy water.
- A particular benefit is that because aromatherapy soy
scented candles burn cooler, the scent "throw" (the degree
to which the fragrance is dispersed throughout the room) is
improved.
- And of course, because soy does not produce any harmful
toxins, there is nothing to detract from all the benefits
of aromatherapy soy scented candles.
