Many of us have heard that soy wax candles are a healthier, more eco-friendly choice for burning at home, for myriad reasons. Whether because they emit less toxins, are made from a nonpetroleum and sustainable source or just burn more slowly, they are, in fact, a better choice. But like anything that burns inside the home, these candles STILL emit pollution into the air. While it’s less soot and pollutants, it is still decreasing the indoor air quality of your home. So if you want to burn candles, go with soy, but keep in mind that they are still affecting air quality.
