Kat's Candles....A Healthy alternative

Soy wax candles can increase the Air Quality in your Home!
Most of us know about the traditional benefits of candles. They are often used for relaxation, stress relief, decoration or even mood setting. They come in all shapes and sizes, colors and scents. We all have our favorite preferences, and many people even stick to just one brand. But what many of you do not realize is that it has now become imperative to make sure that the candles you are burning in your home aren't putting your health at risk!
How can you be sure??
My Soy candles are made of soy wax, a mixture of hydrogenerated soybean oil. This means that they burn clean into the air, as opposed to common paraffin wax candles, which have been known to produce soot and other inhalable toxins such as formaldehyde, acrolein, benzine and acetaldehyde.

 It is important to realize that these toxins have been known to clog and damage the lungs, and can even lead to emphysema .... similar to the effects of second hand nicotine smoke. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), some of the chemicals found in paraffin wax candles are not only toxic, but are carcinogenic and neurotoxic as well, and could cause issues with not only the
 lungs, but also the heart, circulatory system and nervous system.

Sound a bit scary??   I think so, and recent research has shown that the use of soy wax candles in the home increases the surrounding air quality by a whopping 90% as compared with the traditionally produced paraffin or petrochemical based candles. If you are a candle lover, you have probably noticed the effects of paraffin or petrochemical based candles in your home. When you light them, you may notice that there is black smoke that emits from the wick. It stains the jar or candle holder and after using for long periods of time, can even stain your walls, air vents, ceiling and other areas of your home. If you sit too close to a burning paraffin candle, you may even notice a bit of soot accumulates on your skin or clothes, or in your nostrils. And if you think that's bad, just think of how it must look in your lungs!

By purchasing my soy wax candles, you are also making a stand in promoting the health of the nation's farming community. Soybeans are grown and cultivated in the USA and not overseas as some of the ingredients in paraffin are. So keeping the business in the US is a primary goal.

Another reason to burn my soy wax candles is value. Soy burns cleanly and safely, because it has a lower melting point than paraffin wax that is used in traditional candles. This means that soy candles burn cooler, as well as up to 50% longer. Cooler burning means there is a quicker scent throw, for an even more amazing scented candle experience. And, a longer burning time means more value for your money.

Soy candles are so much easier to care for, as they are completely water-soluble. Gone are the days of attempting to scrape off paraffin wax from the carpet or furniture, only to find out it has been ruined! If a soy candle were to spill, all it takes to clean up the mess is a bit of soap and hot water. VOILA!
Purchasing Kat's Soy wax Candles just makes sense. By making the change from traditional paraffin wax or petrochemical based candles to my soy based candles, you are making a solid commitment to your environment, your wallet, and above all else ....your health.
