handcrafted soy wax candles
why soy wax?
CLEAN BURNING – Soy wax is non-toxic and burns cleaner than paraffin, with no petrol-carbon soot which can blacken walls, ceilings, and furniture, contaminate ventilation ductwork in your home, as well as add toxic carcinogens into the air you breathe.
LONG BURNING – Soy wax burns slower and cooler than paraffin wax, creating a longer burning candle.
RENEWABLE RESOURCE – Soybeans are a renewable source unlike paraffin which is made of petroleum.
BIODEGRADABLE – Because soybeans are vegetables, soy wax is naturally biodegradable. Soy wax is also easier to remove from materials and surfaces than paraffin wax.
HELPS FARMERS – Buying soybean products creates economic growth for the agricultural community.
Soy candles are simply better for you, your family and your environment.

what is soy wax?
Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soybeans. After harvesting, the beans are cleaned, cracked, de-hulled, and rolled into flakes. The oil is then extracted from the flakes and hydrogenated. The hydrogenation process converts some of the fatty acids in the oil from unsaturated to saturated. This process dramatically alters the melting point of the oil, making it a solid at room temperature. The leftover bean husks are commonly used as animal feed.
