Welcome to DiLight Soy Candles

Why we use Soy

Paraffin is a by-product of the petroleum industry, leftover residue of refined petroleum. Soy comes from sustainable and renewable agricultural resources. Soot given off from burning paraffin candles is the same as burning diesel fuel or fumes from a diesel engine.  Soot particles travel deep into the lungs.  Breathing soot is not recommended! Due to a low melting point, soy burns cooler, longer and safer than paraffin.  This feature also allows fragrances to be released into the air faster and they last longer. Soy is water-soluble and can be easily cleaned from glass, tin, fabric and other material for efficient recycling. Tests show that paraffin candles can produce a variety of harmful substances, including benzene, toluene, - known carcinogens. Soy burns an average of 25% to 65% longer than paraffin. Is a 100% vegetable product, not a petroleum by-product, and is ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, completely biodegradable and non-toxic.
