Let’s Talk About Soy, Baby!
In today's world, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in our homes is more important than ever. One way to achieve this ambiance is through the comforting scent of candles. However, not all candles are created equal. At Happy Day People, we pride ourselves on creating candles that smell great & look cute. But above all it’s most important to us to source the highest quality wax from a sustainable source, which is why we chose to work exclusively with soy. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of soy candles and why they're the eco-friendly choice for enhancing your home's ambiance and atmosphere.
. The Power of Soy:
Soy candles are made from soy wax, a natural and renewable resource derived from soybean oil. Unlike paraffin candles, which are made from petroleum-based wax, soy candles are non-toxic and produce minimal soot and pollutants when burned. This makes them a healthier choice for both the environment and indoor air quality, ensuring that you can enjoy your candles without worrying about harmful chemicals or toxins.
. Cleaner Burning:
One of the key benefits of soy candles is their clean and even burn. Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, which means that soy candles burn more slowly and evenly, resulting in a longer-lasting and more efficient burn. This not only extends the lifespan of your candle but also reduces waste and ensures that you get the most out of every candle you purchase.
. Sustainable and Renewable:
Soybeans are a sustainable and renewable crop, making soy wax an eco-friendly choice for candle making. By choosing soy candles, you're supporting farmers who practice environmentally responsible farming methods and helping to reduce our reliance on finite fossil fuels. Additionally, soy wax is biodegradable, meaning that it breaks down naturally without leaving behind harmful residues or pollutants.
. Cold and Hot throw:
When we infuse soy wax with our fragrance oils, the candle has both a cold and hot throw, meaning that the scent fills a room whether the candle is burning or not. Due to the decorative look of Happy Day People candles, many of our customers choose to not burn them but just leave them on display in their homes. This way you can enjoy the scent as well as the gorgeous look created by our chandler.
. Promoting Relaxation and Wellness:
The gentle flicker of a candle flame and the soothing aroma of essential oils can have a powerful impact on our mood and well-being. Soy candles are often infused with natural essential oils that offer aromatherapeutic benefits, such as stress relief, relaxation, and mood enhancement. Lighting a soy candle at the end of a long day can help you unwind, de-stress, and create a sense of calm and tranquility in your home.
By choosing soy candles, you're not only supporting a healthier environment but also creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that nourishes the body, mind, and soul. It’s just an added bonus that they look and smell bloody awesome.
