Soy Wax is a Natural Product
Soy Wax is a natural product which is extracted from the soy bean. It is a byproduct of the food industry. Whereas although you could argue that Paraffin is also a natural product, it is extracted from crude oil and is a byproduct of the petroleum industry.
Soy Wax is Environmentally Friendly
Extracted from the soy bean, soy wax is friendly to the environment. Petroleum is not and therefore nor is the wax which is produced from it. It seems crazy to be unnecessarily burning a resource we cannot get back when there is a product available which grows back year after year. Burning Soy wax does not pollute our atmosphere.
There are no damaging toxins
Burning Paraffin wax produces the same chemicals as burning diesel. The toxins released from burning diesel lead to the formation and emission of hazardous molecules such as toluene and benzene. It also produces formaldehyde which is known to be related to the cause of cancer. In 2009 the American Chemicals Society suggested using Soy Wax or Beeswax as an alternative.
Soy Wax produces a cleaner burn
When burning paraffin wax you will notice that the glass becomes blackened rather quickly and can actually turn the glass entirely black. This does not happen with Soy Wax. Due to the wax being derived from vegetables and not toxic petroleum Soy Wax produces a a toxin free, steady clean burn.
A lower Melting Point
If you have an accident and spill paraffin wax you will notice that it burns and hardens straight away damaging whatever it sticks to. If you spill it on the carpet it will likely melt it and ruin the carpet. Soy wax has a melt point of around 20 degrees Celsius lower! Due to it being a vegetable wax it also cleans up with a little soap and water. It also means that you will not burn yourself and it also makes for easy cleaning out your wax warmer which can be done with a piece of kitchen roll or tissue paper.
