This holiday season light soy candles for a greener home!
You’ve made a delicious dinner; set a gorgeous table that includes a candlelit glow and, cough, cough… you don’t realize that you are inhaling the equivalent of secondhand smoke with your petroleum-based candles. Keep your family safe & still enjoy candles by switching to soy.
Soy is a healthy alternative to petroleum-based candles. Petroleum-based paraffin candles contain possible carcinogens or toxic chemicals like benzene, toluene, ethyl ketone, naphthalene and possibly lead in the wick. Soy is easier to clean up and burns cleaner. It is usually more expensive but burns a lot longer (sometimes twice as long as paraffin candles, which offset the higher cost)!
