The following list identifies a number of reasons why soy wax candles are preferable to paraffin wax candles:

• No carcinogens are produced from burning soy wax.
• Soy wax is non-toxic.
• Little or no soot is produced from burning soy wax.
• Soy wax will not discolor your walls or furniture with petroleum byproducts.
• Soy wax is a renewable resource; petroleum is limited.
• Soy wax is biodegradable.
• Soy wax is water-soluble (no more messy cleanups).
• Burning soy wax candles helps support the American farmer.
• Soy wax holds color and scent better than paraffin.
• Soy wax burns 30% to 50% longer than paraffin.

At Cassia Candle &  Fragrance we only use all natural soy wax during the manufacture of our candles.
