ABOUT SOY WAX
How is soy wax made?
After soy beans are harvested, they're cleaned, cracked, de-hulled & rolled into flakes. The oil is extracted from the flakes & hydrogenated. This process converts some of the fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated & changes the melting point of the oil making it solid at room temperature.
What happens to the leftover bean husks? They are commonly used as animal feed. (Talk about a low waste & efficient process!)
