soy - people sell wax candles because they burn for longer making them much more useful
Soy lasts longer - it has a cooler burn temperature than paraffin wax and therefore provides you a longer burn life. It's also cleaner burning and a natural product so it doesn't give off toxins in the air or leave black soot on walls, air filters, etc. Try Imara Candles at simplyimara.com - they have the best that I've tried yet.
