Candles play an integral role when setting the mood for prayer, meditation, or romance.  However, most of the candles today are made from paraffin, a chemical substance that releases a large amount of black soot. For more eco-conscious consumers, you can do more than just choosing eco- friendly cleaners and opting for non- toxic cleaning methods. You can also make other sustainable choices like using organic soy candles. Not only are they healthier for you, they are also healthier for the environment.

The benefits of organic soy candles include the following:

• Organic soy candles burn longer and the flame is cooler than those of paraffin wax candles. In addition, they do not give off black soot and only emit a light-colored smoke. Soot is produced by traditional candles when carcinogens are released as the candle burns.  Soy candles are all natural and do not emit carcinogens or soot.
• Organic soy candles are made from eco-friendly soy wax. Organic soy is good for the environment because it is grown without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. It’s good for your health too because there is no risk of residual chemical poisoning. The Environmental Protection Agency has identified toluene and benzene, two carcinogenic chemicals as being present in paraffin. Soy candles do not contain these ingredients.
• True environmentally friendly cleaning products are labeled “natural” because they are composed of non toxic cleaning substances usually from plant-based material.  Likewise, organic soy candles can be considered natural because they are made from soy beans, not from a chemical substance.
• Real, safe organic soy candles are also free from lead and uses only natural fragrance from essential herbal oils. They contain no hazardous or carcinogenic substances.
• Unlike other fuels like kerosene, which is used in many developing countries as a light source, organic soy candles are a renewable and biodegradable resource because they are made from soy beans which can be replanted over and over again. In addition, if soy candles replaced traditional wax candles, candle producers would utilize a majority of the soybeans grown in the world.  The reduced greenhouse emissions that would result could greatly enhance air quality, thus lessening the effects of asthma and allergies.
• Organic soy candles are also often washable with soap and water. If you need to clean your dirty soy candle, you need only take a small amount of BabyGanics Fine and Handy Foaming Hand Soap and use it to clean the candle. Because BabyGanics makes only eco- friendly cleaners, you can be sure it won’t harm the environment too, just like your organic soy candles!
