Scented Jar Candles Made From Soy Wax
Wholesale Fragrance Gifts for Holidays & Special Events
Oct 1, 2009
Holidays and any special days call for the perfect gift of remembrance. Since flowers can become wilted and a bottle of wine can be a gift that involves a certain amount of risk, many consumers are relying upon scented jar candles as an easy, economical and desirable gift option. Candles that are made from soy wax offer a much-appreciated housewarming gift, can be tailored to the recipient’s fragrance preferences, and can be personalized to commemorate your special occasion or holidays.
Benefits of Soy Candles
- Soy candles first became available after 1992, when they were formulated as an economical alternative to candles made from beeswax or paraffin. Because the candles are made from soy wax, which is a renewable resource from soybean producing farms, one could argue that shopping for soy candles rather than paraffin candles could positively impact the North American agricultural economy!
- Soy candles are biodegradable and non-toxic, making them a good option for environmentally-conscious people.
- Because soy has a lower melting point than traditional paraffin candles, scented jar candles made from soy burn 30 to 50 percent longer than a paraffin alternative. However, due to this lower melting point, these candles can lose their shape in warmer temperatures. Due to this fact, soy candles are generally available in a scented jar candle format and not in a scented pillar candle format.
- One additional benefit of soy candles is that they maintain their color and fragrance longer than an identically sized paraffin candle.
