They are suppose to be because they have no toxic chemicals in them
are you going to eat them???
well of course beeswax is a better product but soy is healther
Yes, they are cleaner burning. Paraffin, which is what most candles are made from, is petroleum based and much more polluting to your indoor environment. Also, many paraffin candles have metal (sometimes containing lead!) in the wick, which also gets into the air and poses a hazard. Soy and beeswax candles typically use natural cotton wicks. I only buy soy or beeswax for these reasons. They also tend to smell awesome!
Beeswax is the only wax that actually produces negative ions when it burns, which helps to further clean the air. Not too sure on soy, but Beeswax candles I can burn without them affecting my allergies.
