 - History of Soy Wax -

 
Interestingly, soy wax was invented by a group of college students in 1996 at Purdue University. The students had to develope a birthday candle using a renewable resource. They chose to use soybean oil. The students figured out how to solidify soy bean oil and won first place in a competition, sponsored by the Indiana Soybean Development Council and Purdue's Department of Agronomy.

  • Soy wax is a natural, renewable resource.

 

  • Soy wax is biodegradable and cleans up with plain old soap and water.
