Paraffin Wax:
- Paraffin wax is a petroleum-derived wax, obtained during the refining of crude oil.
- Non-Renewable Resource: Paraffin wax is derived from crude oil, which is a non-renewable fossil fuel
- Emission of Soot: Paraffin wax is more susceptible to soot, which can contribute to indoor air pollution and potential health concerns
- Environmental Impact: the extraction and refining of petroleum can lead to habitual disruption and pollution, and since paraffin wax is non-biodegradable, its disposal can lead to waste concerns.
- Local Environment: Paraffin wax is more susceptible to soot, can contribute to indoor air pollution, may release harmful chemicals and toxins into your home and can cause potential health concerns
Soy Wax:
- Soy wax is a vegetable wax derived from soybean oil
- Renewable Resource: Soy wax is made from soybeans, which are a renewable resource.
- Biodegradable: Soy wax is biodegradable, making it more environmentally friendly.
- Clean Burning: Soy candles tend to produce less soot and have a cleaner burn compared to paraffin candles.
- Supports Agriculture: The production of soy wax supports the farming industry.
