Soy candles main ingredient is soy wax. Soy wax is a result of a harvesting and cleaning soy beans; rolling the soybeans into flakes and hydrogenating the oil extracted from the flakes.
Our soy wax is made in the United States and its not blended with chemicals or hazardous additives. When being burnt it releases fewer toxins than classic paraffin candles. It is also 100% biodegradable

Soy candles can be infused with the benefits of aromatherapy, by using natural oils. The scents are more lasting than in conventional candles, since soy wax has a lower melting point and burns more slowly and evenly. This means that you get more enjoyment time and less time spent on replacing candles.
Just as we prefer to use soy, we look for the complements such as scents, wick, packaging, to also come from a sustainable source so that the impact both to our customers and the environment is minimal.

The wick of our candles is made only of cotton, with which we finish adding the natural touch. We recommend that you be careful if you keep old candles, as before their use was banned, it was common to add lead to the wick to make it last longer and stay lit. This substance can be extremely harmful.
