Hello Candle Friends! To celebrate national candle day, I wanted to share a little bit about our little biz, and why soy wax candles (and Market Candle Company) are a great choice to scent your home in a safe way for your entire family.
Derived from soybean oil, and scented using phthalate and paraben free fragrances, our candles offer a myriad of benefits that extend beyond just their delightful fragrance. 
- Cleaner Burn: Unlike traditional paraffin candles, which are derived from petroleum, soy candles burn cleaner. They produce significantly less soot, reducing indoor air pollution and minimizing respiratory irritation. This cleaner burn not only contributes to a healthier environment but also keeps your walls, ceilings, and furniture free from unsightly black residue.
- Renewable Resource: Soy wax is made from soybeans, a sustainable and renewable resource. As opposed to paraffin, which relies on fossil fuels, soybeans can be grown annually, making soy candles a more environmentally friendly option. Choosing soy candles supports sustainable agricultural practices and reduces our dependence on non-renewable resources.
- Longer Burn Time: Soy candles typically have a longer burn time compared to their paraffin counterparts. This means you get to enjoy their warm glow and scent for extended periods, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run (yay!). Additionally, the slower burn rate ensures that the fragrance is released gradually, creating a more subtle and lasting aroma throughout your space.
- Biodegradable and Non-Toxic: Soy wax is biodegradable, making it an eco-friendly choice for conscientious consumers. Once you’ve enjoyed your soy candle to its fullest, you can rest easy knowing that it will naturally decompose without leaving behind harmful residues or contributing to landfill waste.
By choosing to support Market Candle Company for your soy candles and home fragrance products, you’re not only choosing a cleaner burning candle, you’re also supporting a local, female-owned and employed business.
Feel good bonus:
We LOVE to give back to our community, donating to a variety of causes throughout York region. It’s win-win situation for all!
So be sure to celebrate National Candle Day by swinging by the gifting section at Vince’s Market, support local, and grab yourself a candle (or two…).
