These soy candles are made with 100% pure soy wax. Our choice in soy wax is manufactured to meet FDA and Kosher standards. The premium soy beans we use are free from pesticides, herbicides and GMM (genetically modified material) so you are ultimately getting a pure candle from start to finish. The benefits to soy candles are amazing! Soy wax candles burn 30-50% longer than the normal candle you might find on a store shelf. They also hold fragrance better than paraffin candles. There is no hidden petroleum, beeswax or paraffin, just wonderfully earth grown soy beans. We also use cotton wicks so there is nothing that is unnatural in your candle. They burn crisp and clean with a soft natural glow. There is little to no soot produced from burning your candle and no carcinogens are produced from soy wax. Soy wax is a renewable source that is biodegradable. It’s very simple to clean up too all you need is soap and hot water. The soy wax we use has no toxic materials and there is no animal testing. By using soy beans to create these candles we are helping to support the American farmer as well as the environment.
