Soy Wax Candle Trivia
Soy wax was invented in 1991 by Michael Richards. He found that bees' wax was too expensive and thought there was a cheaper alternative to beeswax. (Taken from Jack B Nimble Candle Creations)
The Body Shop was the first national chain store to offer soy candles for sale. (credit to Jack B Nimble)
Several studies have been conducted on the benefits of soy wax, and The Indiana Soybean Board patented a special soy wax product, Harvest Lights, in 1998. Cargill purchased Michael's patent in 2001 and now controls production of soy wax used by various soy candle producers. (From Jack Be Nimble Candle Creations)
