•Soy Wax is 100% natural and non-toxic. It is basically made from soybeans! This makes Soy Wax a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice as opposed to Paraffin Wax which is made from petroleum oil.

•A common assumption is that all candles and wax melts release harmful chemicals when burnt – this is actually not the case with Soy Wax. Again, with it being a 100% natural material it does not release toxic chemicals. There are a large number of studies to show the burning Paraffin Wax releases a number of toxic compounds including acetone, benzene and toluene.

•It is common for people to complain of headaches when burning candles, however this is typically only associated with Paraffin Wax as this is linked to the chemicals that are released in the air. I have received several reviews from multiple customers stating that when switching to Mayberry Melts they have seen there headaches have settled down or are now completely gone when burning candles in their home. (Which I think is much more enjoyable!)

•There are also lots of studies to suggest that Soy Wax also burns 25%-50% longer than Paraffin Wax. This is largely down to it burning at a cooler temperature. So, although Soy Wax is typically more expensive than Paraffin, it is actually a more economical choice as it lasts much longer.

•Soy Wax Candles will also give a much cleaner burn than Paraffin Candles, without giving off any unwanted smells. All candles will produce some soot but with Soy wax it is very little when compared to Paraffin Wax Candles.
