No, they are a lot cleaner and safer to burn than paraffin. Soy is made from a vegetable- soy beans.
Paraffin is made from leftover crude petroleum. .
Soy is safer as long as it doesn't have a lead core wick, which no candles are supposed to have any more.

Soy candles are all natural as long as they are 100% soy. You have to be careful because alot of candlemakers combine the soy flakes with other additives. You just want to be sure you are getting a 100% all natural soy product when you make you purchase. Check out the website I listed...there is more info and they are always good about answering questions.

You gotta be kidding me. Do you think they'd SELL soy candles if they were toxic?

No they're not. I actually like them more than regular candles because they burn clean.
