Forget about the air fresheners that come in aerosol cans. As far as that goes, forget about the fresheners that plug into an outlet and the ones that stick under your cupboard or drawer. The fresheners that sit on the table or counter and occasionally spew out a puff of deodorized air…forget about those too.
Not that the mentioned products are bad or inefficient. Maybe it is because they are not very eco friendly.
Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, there is a better way to make your dwelling smell heavenly and fresh, without jeopardizing the ozone layer. So let us discuss soy candles.
Not just any soy candles, but the soy candles made with the natural soy wax, the lead free cotton wicks and essential oils.
Natural soy wax burns clean and melts at a lower temperature, unlike a paraffin wax. It is no danger to the environment because it is natural. Using this product shows support for the farmer, as the soybean plant is harvested and used in many ways. A versatile crop in its own right, the soybean farmer will benefit every growing season.
If you have ever burned a candle and noticed a black smoke or emission coming out of the flame, it can most likely be blamed on the lead that is concentrated in the wick. In this case, you were not burning a candle with a natural cotton wick. Using other than a soy candle with a natural cotton wick harms the environment in your home. If these leaded wicks are burned often in your home, it can show up in fabrics, such as linens and draperies.
To give your home the benefit of great aromas, consider the scented soy candle. A soy candle that includes essential oils that are incorporated when the candle is being made will make it scented. Essential oils come from certain aromatic plants and as the wax melts, the molecules of the plant extract are what you smell as the candle is being burned. Most all of these aromatic essential oils create a heavenly fragrance and are used often in Aromatherapy.
Not enough can be said about protecting our natural environment, the ozone layer or the air in our homes. Any product used these days should be scrutinized or replaced, if at all possible, when it is not ecologically friendly. It is for the greater good of our health and our planet to use products that will not harm us.
The scented soy candle with the lead free cotton wick is a healthy, eco friendly product. If you burn candles in your home, consider them, give them a try and rid yourself of those aerosol cans.
