Candles are very familiar to our daily life, aren’t they? Candle light dinner, aromatherapy candles, candle birthday cakes, and many religious ceremonies also use candles. Millions of candles are used worldwide annually. What do you think about the soot produced by burnt candles? Is it affecting our health? Is it safe for environment? Well, I don’t come to investigate all the impacts above right now, maybe in the next couple posts

This post will concern on why we should think about using soy candle. Why soy candle? Because it has some reasons; less soot than paraffin candle (it means more environmental friendly and healthier), last longer than paraffin candle, it made from soy wax which is all natural and renewable source (compare to paraffin candle which is made from petroleum). Besides, soy candle also able to distribute more flavors. Interested to make some?

Here you are, firstly, you need soy wax as the main substance, and melt it. Then, you may add some dyes to get your handicraft a beautiful look. After you mix the dye, I think fragrance oil is a must, to give aromatherapy effect when you burn it. Don’t forget to buy unique and nice candle jars to put the soy candle. You may get all those material in a candle making supplies store.
