The "Nzuri" Inspiration
Our Candles
Here at Nzuri Bright Candles we use 100% Soy Wax. Our main reason for using Soy is because of its natural features. No one wants chemicals in their home. Here is some information about the wax that we use in the candles that we make for you:
Soy Waxes are made from soybean oil and can contain other non-soy materials. The soybean oil is separated from the beans by use of a mechanical press or by using a solvent to extract the oil. The primary step in making soy wax is a process called hydrogenation. Basically, the soybean oil is treated with a hydrogen solution that causes the oil to solidify and create wax. Every manufacturer has a different process and most of them keep their "recipes" very secretive but the process starts out the same for all of them.
Soy wax is a natural product that has these general properties:
- Non-Toxic - meaning that soy wax is not poisonous.
- Made of either 100% soybean oil or a combination of other non-soy materials (animal products and/or other vegetable products).
- Clean-burning fuel source - meaning soy wax meets several requirements under federal regulations that classify it as clean-burning.
- Colorless - meaning the wax itself does not contain any color and typically appears opaque.
