Why Soy Candles are Safe Candles
By ISOLTR in Shopping | 0 comments
While the toxic effects of burning regular candles may not be serious enough to cause life threatening conditions, it has been found that the candle you burn could release fumes that contain at least 11 carcinogenic agents into the air. These agents are absorbed into our bodies when we inhale these fumes. They have been found connected to lung and nervous system disorders, and if you are the kind of person who likes nothing better than to relax with an aromatic candle every evening, you should probably consider what ills you are exposing you body to, besides the aromatic fumes.
Natural soy wax candles are made of hydrogenated Soya bean oil that burns clean, and releases no toxic fumes into the air. The amount of soot that’s produced when these soy jar candles burn is also minimal. These candles don’t produce smoke that can cause allergy flare ups and respiratory problems in your family members. To see how clean soy candles really are, you only need to look at a surface after soy wax has dripped on it – it’s easy to clean and leaves no long lasting damage unlike paraffin candle wax.
Now that you know how safe and clean soy candles are, maybe it’s time to consider a greener choice to add a warm glow to your home.
