Greetings and Welcome
Our candles:
- Are Proudly Made in America.
- Are Made from a renewable source (soybeans grown by
American Farmers), whereas paraffin candles may be manufactured
with foreign oil.
- Are Made with the Highest Quality Soy Wax available.
We do not blend paraffin wax into our candles like many
other soy candle companies do.
- Burn clean and are virtually soot-free.
- Can be cleaned up with soap and hot water.
- Are Biodegradable, non-toxic, have NO harmful emissions,
and are therefore good for the environment.
- Burn 25-50% longer than paraffin wax candles.
- Are Heavily and Authentically scented throughout the
entire candle with only the highest quality scents on
the market and have both a strong Cold and Hot
Scent throw. Unlike the cheap candles you find in the
large discount stores which lose their scent after the
first burn and rarely smell anything like the scent name
printed on the label.
Soy candles don’t put your
health at risk.
Soy candles do not release the toxins that
paraffin candles emit. According to the state of California’s
Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986), there are at least seven toxins in paraffin
candle wax, including benzene, a carcinogen.
Paraffin is a petroleum product –
a byproduct of oil refining. The soot from these materials
can contain carcinogens, neurotoxins, and reproductive toxins.
Testing and air chamber analysis by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has found the following compounds, in significant
quantity, in a random group of over 30 candles tested: acetone;
benzene; trichlorofluoromethane; carbon disulfide; butanone;
trichloroethane; carbon tetrachloride carbon black (soot)
particulate matter; trichlo-roethene; tetrachloroethene;
tolulene; chlorobenzene; ethylbenzene; styrene; xylene;
phenol; cresol; cyclopentene; and lead. Obviously you’d
have to be a chemist to truly know what most of these chemicals
are, but according to the EPA, they pose a health hazard
with continued exposure over time.
Soy candles help the U.S. economy
& farmers.
The production and burning of soy wax candles
can greatly benefit the American agricultural economy. If
soy wax replaced common paraffin wax, an estimated 60 million
pounds of soy beans would be required for annual candle
production.
