Soy votive candles are are a popular alternative to regular paraffin based votive candles. Soy it and of itself is too soft to make candles so it is usually mixed with another natural material to ensure it comes out of the mold. Because soy candles are environmentally friendly, they don't increase the CO2 content of the air and they burn completely away. Soy candles also burn longer than paraffin candles, some say up to 50% longer so in that way they are also a cheaper alternative.
