These days’ soy candles seem to be getting more and more attention especially in celebrity circles as people are looking for more environmentally friendly ways to lead their lives. Being green of course is not only trendy but also helps future generations and gives them a chance for a great future.

When we think of soy we don’t usually think of candles as using soy in candles is a new thing. Soy has been in use for many years now in numerous different products but the soy candle has really court on. This is because it is a much cheaper alternative to other natural candles. Beeswax candles for example are much more expensive.

The availability and variety of soy candles has also increased significantly and you can freely find soy candles on the high street. Originally there were only a few styles and scents so it has certainly been interesting to watch the change. I mean who thought that soy candles would become a major player in the candle industry.

Despite the increase in the variety of soy candles we cant help but feel there are a few styles they haven’t tried yet. One of the major ones is a freestanding soy candle. We keep expecting to see one and we have been pushing our manufacturers to bring one to the market place. You never know one might come out soon.

Using Your Soy Beauty
Burning soy candles is a little different to burning traditional candles. When you purchase a soy candle you should cut about a quarter of an inch off the top and then start burning it. You should repeat this step for every use of the candle. This is because you need to teach your candle a burning pattern. If you don’t the wick can end up all over the place and the scent doesn’t get released properly.

The other thing to bear in mind is how to put a soy candle out. Unlike a traditional candle you should dip the wick into the wax to put out the flame. Doing it the traditional way would leave soot on the wick which ruins future burns.

Anyway we hope you enjoy the delights of these new candles and lets hope a freestanding soy candle comes along.
