The Soy Alternative

When you look at them in the grand scheme of things, soy candles are still a relatively new invention. They were originally brought to market as an alternative to beeswax, which has always been on the expensive side. Soy wax is also all-natural; it’s not derived from petroleum, which would raise carbon dioxide levels in the Earth’s atmosphere. And soy candles last much longer than their traditional paraffin wax counterparts.

For those who prefer a flameless alternative, the soy tart is a sensible solution. It can be used in any standard electric tart warmer, and the pleasant odor permeates through the room in record time as the wax melts. Soy wax boasts a lower boiling point, which means that the tart’s essential oils are dispersed throughout the area quickly and efficiently.
