Soy wax has better scent 'throw"

 
This same cooler burning also means a better scent "throw", which loosely translates into the degree to which the scent is dispersed throughout a room.

Soy wax is water soluble, so any spills can be easily removed with hot soapy water.

Last but by no means least, soy wax is produced from soy beans grown in America, so every pound sold means greater security for the American farming community. 

Small wonder then that there are now more than 300 companies making soy candles nationwide.

Most soy products will state quite clearly that they are made from soy wax; if you can't find such a claim on the label or in the product description, the wax is probably paraffin-based.
