Natural soybean wax candles can create a very relaxing environment to anyone. Also commonly known as natural candles, there are many advantages over the very common petroleum based paraffin wax candles found in stores and online. Many people are choosing soy candles mainly for the fact that they are all natural, which means that these candles are made only from natural ingredients. Soybean Candles are loaded with many benefits and are better choice than those candles which are made from paraffin wax.

Many people ask what really makes soy candles different from other candles available on the market. There are many reasons why soy candles are favored over paraffin, palm and beeswax candles. The primary reason is that these soy candles are made from natural substances only which make it good for the environment. Soy candles have a burn rate that is longer than other candles and you will generally get 30-50% more burning hours out of each candle. This is a great way to expand you investment and you have a longer lasting candle. Moonbeam Soy Candles scent the entire candle from top to bottom. A lot of retailers only scent the top portion of the candle to save on expenses, whish fools the buyer because they pick the candle up and smell it and it smells really good. Come to find out after burning it for a while, the candle won’t throw any scent! Talk about throwing your money out the window. With the use of Hemp wicks, and keeping them trimmed to ¼”, there is virtually no soot produced. If the wick gets too long, it is will begin to produce soot, which is not very elegant.
