Soy vs Paraffin

Soy
• Soy wax is made from soybeans which is a renewable resource.
• Soy wax burns much cleaner as it is all natural, non-toxic, and non-hazardous.
• Soy wax is biodegradable which helps to reduce landfills.
• Soy wax residue can be washed away with warm water and soap.
• Purchasing soy products supports the soy farmers of America, which stimulates our economy and lessens dependence on international resources.

Paraffin
• Derived from petroleum, which is becoming a limited resource.
• The burning of paraffin wax contributes to indoor air contamination.
• This wax contains petroleum by-products and additives that inhibit biodegradability.
• Paraffin wax residue is quite troublesome, often impossible, to remove.
• Purchasing paraffin products not only supports our dependence on crude oil but also supports an industry riddled with environmental problems.
