It's a BURNING concern - Some common, paraffin (petroleum-based) candle products emit soot - which studies show may contain carcinogenic toxins.[1]

Our candles are better for you, your family, and your environment, because...

1. We use only 100% soy flakes from beans grown in Charlotte, North Carolina
   
2. Wicks are made from 100% natural materials
3. No chemical fixatives, glosses, or additives are used
4. All of our candles are hand-poured in small lots - to guarantee batch consistency.

CLEAN BURNING - Soy wax burns slower and cleaner than paraffin, and, when burned properly, emits 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 candles burn slower and cooler than paraffin wax, creating a longer burning candle.

RENEWABLE RESOURCE - Soybeans are a renewable source, unlike paraffin, which is a petroleum by-product.

BIODEGRADABLE - Since soybeans are vegetables, soy wax (basically made from hydrogenated soybean oil) is naturally biodegradable. Soy wax is also easier to remove from materials and other surfaces than paraffin wax.

SUPPORTS U.S. FARMERS - Buying our soybean products supports economic growth for the agricultural sector of the U.S. economy.
