Soy wax is quickly becoming a popular material within the candle making community, and for good reason.  Soy wax has numerous benefits over paraffin wax, which is the most common ingredient in candles. Paraffin wax is quickly becoming frowned upon with the more environmentally and health conscious because of its use of common pesticides and petroleum oil. Other than the environmental and health reasons, soy has many benefits over paraffin wax. Soy Is A Renewable Resource Soy wax is made from soy beans, which is grown for many purposes and is an extremely plentiful resource being only outgrown by corn in the United States.  After the beans are collected, cleaned cracked and rolled into flakes. Soy Wax Candles Burn Longer Soy wax will extend the lives of your candles since it generally burns longer than paraffin or other common waxes used in candles.  Since soy wax candles are generally more expensive than other waxes, the longer burn times help offset the extra cost. Soy Is Easy To Clean Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, so will turn softer at lower temperatures. If you ever find yourself having a wax spill, it can be cleaned with soap and hot water instead of harsh chemicals. Soy is Clean Burning Soy wax will produce less smoke than other waxes, which will help ease anyone who are sensitive to candle smoke.  Since soy wax burns cleaner the air will be safer for everyone, especially for the elderly and younger children. Better Scent Throw You’ll notice a definite difference in the fragrance of soy wax candles because of the lower melt point.  Because the wax will melt sooner, any fragrance incorporated in the wax will disperse quicker and more evenly into the air. As you can see, soy wax has many benefits over more common wax like paraffin.  When choosing a candle the least expensive candle might not always be the best choice.

poor scent throw.  Premium candles are mainly purchased for their pleasant fragrance.  There’s nothing worse than spending your hard earned money on a candle that doesn’t have much fragrance. Scent Throw Scent Throw is the measure of how effective a candle is at emitting its fragrance.  This can both be experienced when a candle is lit and unlit.  A lot can contribute to a candle’s scent throw such as the ingredients used and the temperatures reached to create the candle. If a candle’s fragrance is added while the candle is too hot, it will quickly evaporate before the wax molecules can bind with the fragrance.  If the improper fragrance percentage is used the fragrance won’t be strong enough. The best candle manufacturers will have a tried and tested recipe when they create their candles that will create superior products for their customers. Cold Scent Throw Cold scent throw is what you experience when smelling a candle while it is unlit.  To measure a candle’s cold scent throw, hold the candle a little closer than arms length.  If you can smell a faint fragrance, chances are you have a good candle on your hands. Hot Scent Throw Hot scent throw is what you experience when your candle is lit.  A premium that has a superior hot throw will typically fill a room when lit.  One thing to note is that most candles won’t reach full scent throw until about a hour after it’s been lit. If the candle is properly manufactured, it should have a smooth and liquid wax pool after that hour has elapsed.  The wick will have a moderate flame size with little or no black or gray smoke coming from the top of the wick. There are countless schools of thought when measuring a good scent throw in a premium candle.  Candle makers often take years to prefect their craft to achieve a premium scent throw.
