Light up your interior and your conscience: Why Musaïca chose soy wax
At Musaïca, we are passionate about creating unique and inspiring atmospheres. Each object we select for you has a story, a soul. And this also applies to our candles! Have you ever wondered what lies behind the soft glow of a flame? It is time to lift the veil on the differences between traditional candles and soy wax candles, and to explain why we have chosen a partner who works exclusively with this natural raw material.
Traditional wax vs. soy wax: an informed choice
Most commercial candles are made from paraffin, a petroleum derivative. While their attractive price and wide availability may appeal, it is important to be aware of their impact on our health and the environment. Burning paraffin releases potentially harmful substances such as benzene and toluene, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are also found in exhaust fumes. In addition, paraffin production contributes to the exploitation of fossil fuels.
Conversely, soy wax is a natural and renewable alternative. Derived from soybean oil, it is biodegradable and does not release toxic substances when burned. By choosing a soy wax candle, you are opting for a solution that is more respectful of your health and the planet.
The benefits of soy wax: an incomparable sensory experience
Beyond its ecological aspect, soy wax offers many advantages:
- Cleaner, slower burn : Soy wax burns longer and more evenly than paraffin, allowing you to enjoy your candle for longer.
- Better diffusion of fragrances : soy wax has a lower melting temperature, which allows for a softer and more faithful diffusion of fragrances. The olfactory experience is therefore more intense and more pleasant.
- Easy cleaning : If a stain occurs, soy wax can be easily cleaned with warm water and soap.
