Are Soy candles more expensive?
Let me explain. Lets say you buy a Toyota. You would have spent 30% more money on that Toyota than the Hyundai, but the Toyota is going to last over the next 20 years 80% longer than the Hyundai. You get what you pay for. Sometimes you get more. Besides burning 40% longer than the petroleum based paraffin wax candles, the Soy candles burn with no carcinogens. That's right. Burning Paraffin candles release 11 known carcinogens into the air found in Diesel fuel......Wow! That's why Soy candles are so good for people with asthma. 90% less soot and no carcinogens.

Why Soy Wax?
Soy Candles are Clean Burning and Asthma friendly!
"Of course, nothing that burns is entirely smoke-free, but there is drastically less soot from a soy candle than from a paraffin candle. Paraffin is a petroleum byproduct. David Krause, a researcher of air quality, has presented evidence that the soot from paraffin candles has many of the same compounds - including as many as 11 carcinogens - as burning diesel fuel. In other words, it's like having a miniature 18-wheeler in your living room, or worse, your bedroom.
Kathleen O'Neil (E: The Environmental Magazine, Nov. 2000) wrote, "A recent study of residents in both rural and industrial areas confirmed this. It found high chemical levels in the subjects' bodies, indicating they had received doses of pollutants in their homes five to 70 times higher than the highest outdoor levels.". Burning candles are listed as one of the top contributors to indoor pollution.
Soy Candles, on the other hand, has never been shown to give off any carcinogens at all. It also will not leave unpleasant soot-stains or discolor walls, ceilings, draperies, or furniture."
