Also called wax melts, these are great alternatives to burning candles. Soy wax burns at a much cooler temperature than paraffin candles. This allows for a longer burn time. Soy wax is made from soy bean oil, a natural resource. It is environmentally friendly in that it has a sustainable source and it burns cleaner. It is non-toxic with no petrol-carbon soot. It easily cleans up with ordinary soap and water.

Clearly soy wax has major advantages over paraffin which is a petroleum by-product. Paraffin wax releases black soot when burned and studies have shown that they also emit carcinogenic toxins. Aside from being unhealthy, it also contributes to dependence on crude oil. Soy tarts should be our choice in all our candle burning needs. Not only are they eco-friendly they also come in beautiful molded pieces fit as decorations by themselves.
