Since paraffin is from oil, a black soot collects on your candle jar and in and around the areas of your home where you burn paraffin candles. Smoke from the paraffin candles even stains cloth and clothes. Paraffin candles are a huge cause of indoor air pollution. Studies have shown that lighting a paraffin candle is like starting a diesel engine in your home. YUK!!! There are numerous sources that have claimed that indoor air pollution is worse than outdoor pollution. Don't make it worse by burning paraffin candles! A great alternative to paraffin wax is a natural vegetable soy wax candle. By Going Green in your home, you do not pollute your indoor air, and you support the American farmers. NVSoy Wax (Natural Vegetable Soy) is an all natural product that is biodegradable and is a renewable resource. Candles made with NVSoy burn much cooler than paraffin candles, and they burn up to 50% longer. Natural soy wax candles are non-toxic and do not emit any carcinogens or black soot into the air in your home.
Candles made from soy wax burn completely so you can even recycle the jar easily. Natural vegetable soy wax, if spilled, can be easily cleaned up with soap and water. Finally, NVSoy wax releases fragrances naturally, faster and longer, so these candles smell great and you can smell the fragrance for the entire burn of the candle.
With all this in mind, why would you want to burn another paraffin candle when you can burn a healthy alternative that is safe for you, your family, your pets, and the environment? Switch today and burn a healthy NVSoy candle! You will be glad you did.

Nope, they don't have to cost more, especially if you can buy supplies and create your own!
