All Mum To Be room candles are made from 100% pure soy wax. Here at Mum To Be we have consciously made the decision to use soy wax for the following reasons: • Soy candles burn cleaner and are non-toxic; they are eco-friendly and biodegradable • Soy candles are made from a sustainable and renewable source; soy beans, unlike paraffin candles which are a petroleum by-product • Soy candles last up to three times longer when compared to paraffin candles and have a greater ability to throw scent
