Natural soy candles burn cleaner than candles that are made from paraffin wax. They emit less soot into the air and are considered more eco friendly. They burn for a long time and have become the most popular candle of choice for those who wish to have a more eco friendly home.

You can purchase these soy candles at a variety of different places. They look just like regular candles and come in all sorts of shapes, scents and sizes. You can even make these candles yourself using soy products in place of wax. The same things that you can do with wax candles you can do with these candles.

If, for example, you want to add scent or color to a soy candle, you can do so. Some people are using these types of candles in place of older candles for aromatherapy, which is an ancient healing art that uses scent that is inhaled to heal parts of your body.

About the only difference that you will notice with the natural soy candles over traditional candles is that they will burn cleaner. This means that you will not see dark black smoke coming from the candle nor will you see a residue build up on the wick. The soot that is emitted from regular candles is not emitted from these types of candles and this is something that you can observe on your own.

The price for these candles versus paraffin wax candles is about the same. Many candle companies that traditionally only sold paraffin wax candles are now selling soy candles as they are in more demand than ever.
