Soy candles bring a cleaner , healthier and environmentally sound alternative to parraffin candles. I bought some and they smell great and last longer. also claim to be cleaner than regular parrafin.

   Wow, more and more things are being formulated from soy. I guess it's worthwhile to be a soybean farmer in these times! (Not that I am one...)

   These are the only types of candles that I use. I also make sure that they are scented only with essential oils, not fragrance.

      Do you find there seems to be less air pollution, for lack of a better way of putting it, then burning wax candles? The scents of wax candles really bother me so I don't use them but if these work better I would love to try them.

   Wow, I think I have heard of these before but can't remember where...where would I find them? I didn't know that paraffin was bad for the environment either!

   Lots of places sell soy candles. This is one place that I usually get mine from. I think that they are becoming more widely available now too.

   so pleased to hear you have discovered soy candles.
   Paraffin candles release so many toxins and when coupled with synthetic fragrances they really are pretty worrying. This is why we started to produce soy candles and soy t lites at www.homescents.co.uk.
   Also soy is a renewable source and water soluble so if buying in jars the containers can be washed and used for storage. Have a good weekend
   Bye
