Is a soy tea light candle better than paraffin tea light candle?
I am going to start making tea light candles.. Which is better? soy or paraffin..
Soy candles are candles made from soy wax, which is a processed form of soybean oil. They are usually container candles, because soy wax typically has a lower melting point than traditional waxes, but can also be made into pillar candles if certain additives are mixed into the soy wax.
Soy wax is a hydrogenated form of soybean oil. It is typically softer than paraffin wax and with a lower melting temperature, in most combinations. However, additives can raise this melting point to temperatures typical for paraffin-based candles. Soy wax is available in flake and pellet form and has an off-white, opaque appearance. Its lower melting temperature can mean that candles will melt in hot weather. Since soy wax is usually used in container candles, this is not much of an issue.
Soy tea lights
Some soy candles are made up of a blend of different waxes, including beeswax, paraffin, or palm wax.
Candle making additives that are sometimes used in soy candle making include: static acid, Veba (a trademarked polymer), mineral oil, petrolatum, luster crystals, dye/pigment, fragrance (natural or artificial), paraffin wax, ultraviolet absorbers, and baht crystals.
Standard labeling of soy candles is not enforced, therefore any claims of benefits of these candles are not regulated. Yet there are studies claiming its safety over other waxes when candles are used heavily
