Our soy candles are clean and free of toxins - better for you and our environment. The soy wax we use comes from domestically grown, U.S. soybeans which is an all-natural and renewable resource. Soy wax burns cleaner and slower than traditional candles like paraffin wax.

To have the best burning results:

• Trim the wick down to 1/4" before lighting.
• While lit, try to allow candle to burn long enough that the melt pool reaches the edge of the jar.
• Never leave candle burning unattended
• Do not let candle burn for more than 4 hours at a time
• Do not leave candle on or near flammable objects

Soy candles are made from soy wax, which is derived from soybean oil, a renewable resource. They are a natural alternative to paraffin wax and burn longer and cleaner. Our soy candles are also paraben, phthalate, and carcinogen-free, providing a healthier option for your home.

Soy candles have a long shelf life when stored properly. However, over time the wax color could change slightly, however this does not affect how the candle will burn or the scent. To maintain the quality of your candles, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Soy candles are often considered better for several reasons. They burn longer, produce less soot, and are made from renewable resources like soybeans. Our candles are also free from harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, and carcinogens, making them a healthier option for your home.

Soy candles are known for their clean burn and minimal soot, reducing the likelihood of irritation. However, some individuals may be sensitive to certain fragrances. We use high-quality, non-toxic fragrance oils in our candles, which are paraben, phthalate, and carcinogen-free. If you're sensitive to scents, reach out to us and we can help make a recommendation!

Soy candles are generally safer for pets than paraffin candles, as they produce fewer harmful chemicals. Our candles are specifically crafted to be free of parabens, phthalates, and carcinogens, ensuring a cleaner burn. However, some fragrances and essential oils may still be harmful to pets, so it's always best to consult with your vet and monitor your pets when burning any candle.

Yes, soy candles have a lower melting point than paraffin wax candles, meaning they can soften or melt in extreme heat, such as in a hot car. To avoid this, keep them in a cool, shaded area during transportation. If this is unavoidable, make sure the candle is sitting upright with its lid on and if it does begin to melt or soften, it will solidify properly when it cools down.

While soy candles can melt if exposed to high temperatures during shipping, we take extra precautions to prevent this. Our candles are packaged with care, and we recommend choosing expedited shipping in warmer months to minimize the risk. Our soy wax formulation, combined with the right packaging, ensures your candles arrive in perfect condition.
