Soy wax is environmentally safe, biodegradable and is easily cleaned up with just soap and water.

Hold on, I’m not finished yet….Soy candles burn cleanly and evenly leaving very little to zero excess wax onrepparttar 110077 sides ofrepparttar 110078 jar to eliminate waste. They also burn cooler than most paraffin wax candles which will lessenrepparttar 110079 risk of serious burns from melted wax. These babies also burn 30 to 50 percent longer than paraffin wax candles which makes them more economical to use. They also seem to hold their fragrances extremely well compared torepparttar 110080 naughty petroleum by-product kind.
