Are Soy Candles Safer Than Paraffin Candles?

Are Soy Candles Safer Than Paraffin Candles?

Direct answer:
Yes, soy candles are generally safer than paraffin candles because they are made from plant-based wax and produce less soot when burned properly. Paraffin candles are petroleum-based and can release more residue into the air.

Soy wax candles:
