Soy Votive Candles

Light a candle for me. Have you ever heard this term before? The soy  votive candles represents the prayer that you say for your loved ones. These candles were first used for more of a religious purpose. When you light a candle it symbolizes the prayer. Some people also light a candle at their church in remembrance of a dearly departed loved one.

The candle isn't very big. It is only about 2 1/2 inches tall and about 1 1/2 inches thick. Since the candle is small, after it's lit it liquifies rather quickly. This is why it is so important to have the candle in a proper holder made specifically for soy votive candles .

The holders and wax will become very hot and will burn your hands if you attempt to pick it up after it's lit. You don't want to spill the hot oil it can cause sever burns. Even though soy wax doesn't burn as hot it can still be very uncomfortable if you spill it on your skin. Once it's lit it shouldn't be moved for any reason.

It's always important not to leave any candles within the reach of children or your pets. Candles can be knocked over very easily. If you use the soy wax it will clean up easily with soap and water. The soy wax does burn cooler than paraffin but, it's just not wise to leave a candle unattended. Even if the oil won't get hot enough to burn there is still the open flame to consider. The burns that can result to your little ones will be more devastating than simply cleaning the wax from your floor.

Votive Style Candles  are also great to have in an emergency when the power goes out. Where we live it's always a good idea to have a few of these on hand in the winter months.

Please keep all candles out of the reach of children and pets whether you use soy or paraffin.
