Soy Wax Soot Free Candles Versus Paraffin Wax Candles

Soy Wax Soot Free Candles Versus Paraffin Wax Candles

oot free candle means there is no petrol-carbon soot that comes from petroleum based fuels that are found in paraffin candles.

Yes, soot free candles! Once you learn about these wonderful alternatives to toxic paraffin candles, you might throw away every soot-producing candle you own.

As a paraffin wax candle is burned, it produces soot that is the result of incomplete combustion of fuels containing carbon. Soy wax candles are petrol-carbon soot free.

Did you know that paraffin wax is refined gasoline?  Soot, by definition is called lampblack or carbon black and is the dark powdery deposit of unburned fuel residues.  This is the black residue you see on candle jars.  If the petroleum is not fully combusted, it produces petrol. Petrol or carbon soot is chemically similar to the exhaust smoke seen when a diesel truck accelerates on the highway. Another reason soy wax candles are environmentally better!

No candle is 100% combustible, however soy natural candles do not put your health at risk.  So while there is no candle that is absolutely soot free, candles that are made from soy or other vegetable based products other than paraffin are absolutely free from petrol-carbon soot!
