Our gifts feature 100% Soy Candles for Cleaner Non-Toxic Candle Burning

Coming soon to Whata Basket is Kesington Candle Co. 100% Natural Soy Candles. Made of 100% essential oils for cleaner burning, and relaxing aromatherapy. Listed below are the benefits of Soy candles vs paraffin. 

Natural

Soy candles are made from soybeans, a natural, renewable source grown in many regions by local farmers. Paraffin candles are made from petroleum, which is a nonrenewable source that contains carcinogenic substances. These substances may be released into the air while burning.

Cleaner Burning

A candle made from soy wax burns cleaner with little soot released as the candle burns. Paraffin candles often create a significant amount of black soot that collects on the jar, as well as on your walls and other surfaces of the home. The soy candle may accumulate some black soot on the jar, but the amount is much less than paraffin candles. Soy candles are also non-toxic, so they won't release toxins into the air as they burn.

Longer Lasting

Soy candles typically last longer than a paraffin candle of the same size. The reason behind the longevity of soy candles is the slower burning time and cooler burning temperature of the soybean-based wax. You may pay more for a soy candle initially, but the longer-lasting burn means you won't have to buy new candles as often.

Better Scent

A soy candle works well for holding onto the scent from our essential oils. Because they burn more slowly, the scent is gradually released; there won't be an immediate wave of strong scent. This creates a more pleasant atmosphere for most people.
