There are all sorts of ways in which you can choose to fragrance your living spaces, but there’s nothing quite like the cosy glow of a collection of soy wax candles to really create a homely atmosphere in an instant.
Soy wax has all sorts of benefits associated with it but one of the main ones has to be that it comes with a lower melting point than paraffin wax, which means it can burn for longer… so you can enjoy them for longer and keep your home smelling delicious with ease.
It’s also a better option if you’re concerned about chemicals in the home and want some more eco-friendly options. Soy wax is made from vegetable oil, so candles will burn very cleanly and you won’t be releasing any nasties into your house. Soybeans are also sustainable and renewable, so you’re being green there as well.
And no doubt you’ve all had to deal with candle wax spillages at some point… these can be quite irritating to clear up, so it’s worth remembering that soy wax spillages are far easier to clean off tabletops and get out of fabrics.
It’s also likely that you will find your rooms smell even better with soy than with paraffin, because the candles hold their scent a lot better, since they burn a lot more slowly, releasing the oils gradually.
So, now you’ve made the decision to go for soy, you can start thinking about the different kinds of fragrance there are out there. You’ll find you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to scents, so you’ll have a lot of fun finding your favourites!
