What are the benifits of using Souy Candles

Below are the top seven benefits of soy candles:

1.They are cost effective- Because soy candles can last as much as 50% longer than regular candles, you won’t have to replace them as often, thus saving a good deal of money over time.

2.They are eco-friendly- Although soy candles do produce smoke, the amount is much less than normal candles and because the candles are all natural, the smoke does not contain any of the toxins and carcinogens that regular candles do.

3.They are all natural- Soy candles are made out of natural ingredients like soybean and hydrogenated soybean oil. Both these products are totally biodegradable as well as renewable resources.

4.They are soot free- While it can be hard to see, regular candles produce soot while burning. This can leave a thin film on ever surface in your home. Soy candles are soot free and burn 100% clean.

5.They are water soluble- If you do spill the wax of a soy candle, cleanup is incredibly easy, unlike the horrible mess that exists after a traditional candle wax spill.

6.They burn evenly- It has been proven that fragranced soy candles distribute the fragrance evenly while burning, unlike the often uneven burning of traditional paraffin wax candles.

7.They don’t get as hot- Soy candles burn much cooler than traditional candles making them safer for you and your family.

As you can see, all natural soy candles provide many more benefits over their traditional wax counterparts. If you are looking for an inexpensive and more healthful way to use candlelight for you and your family, you might do well to give soy candles a try.

How to make your own

How to make your own Soy Candles

Let's make a candle! This will be a basic container candle. You may wish to buy a fragrance that goes with a white candle (vanilla) since we will not be adding dye to the wax. Here is a list of items you will need:

	Pyrex measuring cup with 2 cup capacity
	1 pound of soy wax flakes
	1 ounce of fragrance oil
	1 mason jar
	1 wick preferably an HTP 105
	spoon
	super glue
	scissors

After you have all of your supplies, let's begin.

Fill your 2 cup capacity Pyrex (make you use Pyrex!) with soy flakes and microwave for approximately 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove the measuring cup from the microwave with a hot pad. The measuring cup will be hot, so be careful. Stir the wax thoroughly. The goal here is to get 15 fl. ounces of soy wax completely melted. Once the initial wax is completely melted (you may have to microwave a little longer), you may add more wax or pour some out to get to 15 ounces in the measuring cup.

Wash and dry your mason jar completely. After your jar is dry, put a couple drops of super glue on the bottom of the wick (metal tab). Then place the metal tab of the wick in the bottom of the mason jar. Super glue sets up pretty fast, so you may only need to hold the wick in place for around a minute.

Now that you have 15 ounces of melted soy wax in your measuring cup, it is time to add 1 ounce of fragrance oil. Stir the mixture completely so the oil is absorbed into the wax and the wax is clear and not cloudy. Your wax mixture is now ready to pour!

Some may suggest that you warm up glass before pouring your wax. I personally have never broken any glass due to pouring hot wax into it. The secret here is to pour slowly and allow the heat of the wax to slowly transfer into the glass.

Once the jar is filled, it is time to center the wick so when the wax cools, the wick will be in the center of the candle, and it will burn more evenly.

After the candle cools, you may trim the wick. Soy wax has a tendency to mottle at the top of containers, and I have yet to find a method to totally prevent this from happening. Your candle will still burn as normal, however if appearance is important to you, you may want to invest in a heat gun. Basically you would heat and melt the very top of the container with the heat gun. When the top layer cools, it will be smooth!
