Why do a soy candle burn longer than paraffin candles?
Soy candles burn at a much lower temperature so it makes them less combustible, and slower burning than paraffin. Some paraffin candles advertise long burn times. However, these candles have stearic acid added to the wax. While there’s been no research to suggest stearic acid itself is harmful … its’ presence increases the amount of black soot released by the paraffin candle. Cool Cat Soy Candles adds NO stearic acid, or other additives to our candles. We use only natural plant extracts for the wax.
