Soy pillar candles are quickly becoming popular as a natural choice. They can be purchased in many different places, from drug stores to online retailers. They have many of the same features as other types of luminaries, with some added desirable benefits. They come in different scents, colors and prices ranges as well. They are available through party or brochure sales from individual franchises. Specialty stores that sell luminaries and those that sell natural home products are also places where you can find these products.

The natural ingredients in these items make them safe for people who suffer from asthma and respiratory ailments. They do not produce as much soot or carbon as petroleum based wax products. The wax in these items is made from the actual beans, to produce luminaries that burn cleaner. Less carbon means everyone around can breathe easier and there will be much less residue on walls or nearby surfaces. For those who are concerned about the environment, this may be the best option, when selecting pillar candles to decorate and light in your home. You can feel more confident that pets and children will not be affected when you burn one of these items.

Able to produce a much more noticeable odor, scented pillar candles made of this natural substance keep their fragrance much longer than those made of petroleum based wax. They can keep a room filled with a pleasant cinnamon or berry aroma for several hours, even when they are no longer being burned. Because there is less soot, the fragrance is not overpowered by the smell of carbon, which makes it stronger and more pleasant.

The natural soy bean used to make these items is grown throughout the United States. It is the most commonly grown crop, which makes it readily available. Using the natural plant in luminaries helps those who plant and produce the beans, by keeping them in business and helping them maintain their livelihood. Most products do not cost much more than those made of petroleum based wax. They come in many scents and colors, so you will always be able to find the products you want for your home.

The many different scents available make it easy to find a product for every season. Floral scents like lavender, hyacinth and jasmine are great in the Spring. Summer scents like sunflower and melon are easily found. Many people prefer the Falls scents of cinnamon, cranberry, pumpkin, ginger and other spices or combinations. There are sweeter fragrances such as vanilla too. Some stores carry a variety of brands. Others specialize in handmade pillar candles, which are produced with the highest quality ingredients and natural scent oils.

Prices for these products can range from $5.99 to $20, depending on the brand and where they are purchased. Products made of petroleum based wax generally cost up to $10. Considering the benefits of soy pillar candles over other products, they are a great value. They burn up to three times longer, which makes them very cost effective for any budget.
