What are the advantages of soya wax over paraffin and palm ?
Soya wax is made with natural renewable sustainable ingredients – soybeans! The raw materials that make up EcoSoya(tm) waxes are from North America and are grown in a temperate climate from sustainable sources. Palm oil contributes to the destruction of tropical rainforests and wildlife habitats. (FYI, There are eco-friendly palm waxes out there, so if you do wish to buy a palm wax candle please ensure the producer of the oil is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil). Paraffin, the most common candle wax for more than 100 years, is a highly refined petroleum product. The detrimental global environmental effect of petrochemical products shouldn’t need any further explanation here.
