Soy Aromatherapy Candles
Soy aromatherapy candles are considered among the best to be available on the market, particularly if compared to the cheaper paraffin products. Soy aromatherapy candles are manufactured from hydrogenated soybean oil combined with essential herbal extracts; soy is totally friendly for the environment and the burning specificity is highly superior to paraffin. Thus, soy aromatherapy candles will burn twice more than paraffin candles but very cleanly, furthermore, there is a lot less soot to dirty the sides of the candle holders, and the risk of wax spills is considerably reduced. Even if you stain your carpets with wax from the soy aromatherapy candles, it can be cleaned with simple hot water and detergent.
Another big advantage of soy aromatherapy candles is that soy oil carries fragrance a lot better, this means that the quality of the scent and its diffusion in the room are superior. Such properties are explainable by the different melting point and the suitability for herbal combinations. This is also the reason why people interested in candle making at home will usually prefer soy wax to bees wax or paraffin. The problem here could be a difficulty to find the right type of wax in a local supply store and you'd probably have to order it on the Internet. Before placing the order, make sure that you are well informed about the types of wax that work best for the making of soy aromatherapy candles.
A good tip for anyone interested in the purchase of soy aromatherapy candles is to buy only those products that are made of 90% pure wax, since if there are more additives included, the quality of the products will surely be lower. Plus, one who buys soy aromatherapy candles is first and foremost interested in the effects of the natural fragrances on the overall body health, and therefore, the exclusion of chemical products is a must. And last but not least, take a good look at the wick and make sure it is cotton-made so as to stay in the same environment-friendly realm.
The most important market competitors for soy aromatherapy candles are beeswax products, but they are surely more expensive. What people should pay more attention to is not the type of wax (soy wax or beeswax) but the kind of fragrances used in the blend. Always go for the “all-natural” since the tendency is to include some chemicals in the composition too in order to make the scent more prominent.
