An aromatherapy soy candle is a scented candle that utilizes soy wax to form it. The soy bean wax is derived via hydrogenated soy bean oil. This makes it a renewable resource and ideal for making aromatherapy candles. The aromatherapy soy candle is made the same way that ordinary candles are made. The wax is melted and the scent is added, a wick is then embedded into the middle of the wax and then it is left to harden.
The aromatherapy soy candle is usually produced without any color. This is in keeping to its organic nature and to minimize the possibility of polluting the aromatherapy soy candle itself. Other candle makers of manufacturers may see the merit of making aromatherapy soy candles more commercialized by catering to those who like colored or decorative candles.
One thing that needs to be pointed out when making an aromatherapy soy candle is that not all fragrances are compatible with wax made from soy beans. Soy wax is also limited when it comes to absorbing fragrance oil. There is a limit to how much fragrance can be added to the wax.
Benefits Of Soy
Making an aromatherapy soy candle is not difficult at all. Most of the materials needed are available in specialty stores. Soy wax is available in a variety of weights and packages that come with instructions about how to melt it. It can also be melted in the microwave which makes it easier to do, compared to other tallow and paraffin waxes.
An aromatherapy soy candle burns more clearly than tallow or paraffin candles. This means that the wax is burned more thoroughly with less residue, smoke and soot from the candle. Less inhalation of this residue makes for a safer candle. Tracking of the smoke and soot is also minimal. This means that the house will have less residue or inorganic elements.
Other Benefits

Another benefit of an aromatherapy soy candle is the organic essence of it. Many soy beans are organically grown and processed. Farmers who make organic soy beans will benefit from using these soy beans for soy candles. Organic soy beans benefit both the farmers and the consumers. This encourages more and more farmers to grow organically grown products which will be advantageous for the environment and the people.
The aromatherapy soy candle makes for an excellent aromatherapy candle gift. Whether the aromatherapy soy candle is homemade or store bought, many will appreciate it as a gift.
