Soy Wax vs Paraffin Wax
I have been asked numerous times "what is soy wax?" What is the difference between Soy wax and the "other" regular wax. So here is is, I have found nuermous articles and news stories that have confronted this topic. From aboutsoywax.com "About Paraffin Wax There are three main reasons many people avoid buying petroleum (paraffin) products: Petroleum smoke/exhaust contains many carcinogenic toxins and produces ugly black soot Petroleum is not a renewable resource and it is of a limited supply Burning petroleum products creates air pollution and contributes to global warming 11 carcinogenic compounds Paraffin candles contain up to 11 carcinogenic compounds. These 11 compounds have been deemed 'toxic air contaminants' by the State of California. An air quality researcher, David Krause, has documented evidence that candle soot particles contain many of the same compounds given off from burning diesel fuel. ~~~ See Below In the Nov/Dec 2000 edition of the Emagazine, in an article titled, 'The Inside Scoop,' Kathleen O'Neil writes that a recent study of residents in both residential and an industrial areas found chemical levels in the subjects' bodies indicating they had received doses of pollutants in their homes five to 70 times higher than the highest outdoor levels. Burning candles are listed in the article as contributing their share of indoor pollution. Paraffin Wax is a Health hazard Health hazards are being created when paraffin (petroleum-based wax) is mixed with synthetic fragrance (some not even meant for combustion), and are compounded with chemical fixatives, synthetic glosses and bleached cotton wicks. Health problems have been more evident in the past five or so years due to the increase in popularity of highly scented candles. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of home and furniture damage have been reported, causing a battle with insurance companies and retailers of the candles. Candle ingredients are not required to be listed Unfortunately, a large percentage of the human population is not aware of candle ingredients, although awareness is growing. One reason is that candle ingredients are not required to be listed, and labels are often worded in such a way that some consumers think they are buying healthy, aromatherapy candles, when in reality the candle is mostly a petroleum wax, synthetic scent, synthetic fixatives, with a little bit of plant essential oil added in. Even if a candle is labeled as being made of beeswax, often there is paraffin as well. The wicks are usually made of chemically grown cotton that has been bleached using dioxins. Wicks that have a metal, or zinc core, contain small amounts of lead. Most department stores provide no other option than to buy paraffin candles. However, some natural food stores have began carrying plant-wax candles. Beware of "SOY BLENDS" that DO have Paraffin in them! Soy wax candles contain no lead, no petroleum, no chemical/synthetic fixatives or glosses, no animal products/by-products, and must use 100% naturally grown hemp, cotton, or HTP fiber wicks. Soy bean wax is 100% biodegradable and produces very little soot if any, with 0% petrol-soot emissions." Here is part of an article that quotes David Kraus and Air Quality Expert "According to Mr. David Krause, an air quality expert, recently wrote for the RSES Journal, the official publication of the Refrigeration Service Engineers Society (www.rses.org). He states that "while soot is suspended in the air, room occupants are at risk of inhalation exposure. Since the particles are less than 1 micron in diameter, they can penetrate the deepest part of the lungs." Just what's in candle soot? The same materials that is in diesel engine exhaust! People exposed to diesel soot over an extended period of time, say 8 hours a day for a year, such as in a workplace, have been known to develop respiratory problems. Mr. Krause asserts that the same could be said for heavily scented, aromatic candles. The materials that candle wicks made of can also pose a serious problem. Heavily scented candles result in a softer wax because of the scented oils that are added. This requires manufacturer's to use a stiffer wick, one that has a metal core. Many of the candles on the market today, and usually those that are imported, have a lead core. " So why buy Love In Light Soy Candles? We only use 100% Soy Wax, it is not blended with any "botanicals" or other oils and waxes Our Soy Wax is grown buy American Soy Farmers and is a renewable natural resource We ONLY use 100% natural wicks Soot Free... no black ring inside your candle, on your walls or in your air! ...read more
