Candle lovers choose Eco-Friendly Soy

For Immediate Release

Devoted candle lovers all over the country are switching to natural Soy based candles , after revelations that burning conventional Paraffin based candles releases dangerous cancer causing toxins.

Although Paraffin candles are widely and readily available on the market and have thus become the most popular type of candle , Paraffin based candles in fact release harmful toxins into the air which are known to be carcinogenic and cancer causing , explains London based retailer Sentelle.

Even without the associated health risks , traditional Paraffin candles may look and smell nice , but often stains walls and home interiors , burn hotter and typically loose their scent after just an hour of burning . And rather than smelling the fragrance the customer happily paid for in the shop , what a burning Paraffin candle emits is the residual odour of petrol , as Paraffin is one of the by products in the distillation process of petrol.

"Many people are not aware that traditional Paraffin candles release 11 toxins , 2 of which are carcinogenic and can cause cancer . Nor do they realise that a range of candles which are just as divinely scented and beautifully packaged exists in the form of toxin free , non carcinogenic and entirely renewable soy" explains Funmi Ogboye, founder of Sentelle, who currently offer an impressive range of Soy based candles.

Made from soya bean , Soy candles provide a sustainable candle source which is clean-burning , environmentally friendly and poses no associated health risks . The composition of Soy candles allow for better fragrance absorption and therefore slowly releases fragrance throughout the life of the candle( up to 50% longer than paraffin candles) , leaving the customer to enjoy the pure smell they bought . They are also biodegradable and water soluble unlike their paraffin counterparts.

"Our customers are genuinely shocked that their efforts to relieve stress and unwind from a hard day are actually counteracted by the health risks associated with burning Paraffin candles" explains Funmi who prior to founding Sentelle in 2005 spent over 10 years working in research and development roles for major companies in the Cosmetic Industry.

With a greater emphasis in daily life on reducing waste and emissions , the peace of mind that burnling Soy candles is environmemtally friendly , made from renewable , sustainable sources and poses no associated health risks leaves many questioning how long it will be before consumers turn their back on Paraffin candles altogether.
