Lots of people ask

W h y S o y ?

For starters soy candles burn evenly, leaving little or no wasted wax. This means you get what you pay for. If you are like me, you had rather pay more for a SUPERIOR product. Because what are you saving when you throw away half of a paraffin candle that didn't burn ? In addition SOY burns up to 50% longer than paraffin giving you even more for your money. Most importantly is the health benefits. Lets face it - everyone loves burning candles. Whether it is for their lovely scents or for their appealing ambiance, what most folks don't know is that the soot that is put off from burning paraffin wax candles is similar in composition to diesel fuel soot which in turn endangers the health of your family, pets and ourselves when breathed into our lungs.

So here are 6 things to remember about SOY candles:

    1. Soy candles are non-toxic and water soluble, cleaning up easily with soap and water.
    2. Made from soy beans which in turn supports American farmers.
    3. Do not release carcinogens when burned.
    4. Burn cooler and slower.
    5. Virtually soot free.
    6. HIGHLY fragrant all the way through.


Now that you know all this your next question is

Why Isn't Every Candle Made From Soy ?

The Answer: Soy wax is much more expensive than paraffin wax. For many companies the cost savings

of using paraffin out weighs the potential environmental and health risks that are introduced by paraffin candles.

However YOU have options:
