“According to an EPA report, paraffin candles give off petrol-carbon soot, which can blacken walls, ceilings and furniture, and contaminate ventilation ductwork in your home, as well as adding potential carcinogens into the air you breathe.”
Soy candles! Yes, that is what Dzign Life suggests as an alternative to its paraffin counterpart. Dzign Life claims that their soy candles have a lower melting point than paraffin wax, and therefore will provide a cooler, longer and safer burn.
Nor should they “add toxic carcinogens and pollutants into the air you breathe.” And the best part of it is that it being water soluble, soy candle wax drips can be easily removed from most any surface. Dzign Life claims to support an agricultural economy rather than large oil conglomerates. Unless the sourced soy is of a non-GMO variety, it might however be somewhat off-target.
