Coconut and Soy Wax Candles - Shop Sustainble and Fair Trade 180ML / Fig and Vetiver

Why buy coconut and soy wax candles? For many years we all happily burnt candles made from paraffin wax because there was little or no alternative. Paraffin wax is a man- made product, derived from petroleum – basically the sludge waste when crude oil is refined. When burnt, paraffin wax candles release toxins into your home as well as a small amount of black soot which you have probably noticed up your living room wall. Soy wax is fairly new to the candle market – it is a 100% natural wax made from the oil of soybeans and is a renewable resource. Soy wax burns much slower than paraffin wax and has a beautiful scent throw too. We like to call it a clean burn as no nasties are released as it burns.
