Soy is superior to paraffin in many ways...

Soy wax is all-natural and organic - Soy wax comes from the soy bean, which is a renewable resource. Paraffin is distilled from petroleum.

Soy candles last longer - They can last up to 30% longer than paraffin candles.

Wax spills are easy to clean - It's very difficult to remove paraffin wax from furniture or textiles. Soy wax spills can easily be cleaned up with hot soapy water.

Soy candles are clean burning - Paraffin soot contains carcinogens and can eventually coat furniture and walls. Soy candles produce about 90% less soot that paraffin candles and do not increase carbon dioxide levels in the atmospher.

Soy candles distribute more scent - The incorporation of soybean oil lowers the melting point of the candle, which translates into cooler burning candles and faster scent dispersion. The lower melting point of soy wax results in a larger size of the liquid wax pool around the candle wick. It is from this liquid wax pool that essential oils evaporate and disperse scent.
