Why Choose Soy

Why Choose Soy


Soy wax is cleaner burning and more Eco-friendly than paraffin wax. It also supports American Soy Farmers.

Soy wax is non-toxic and non-carcinogenic. We use cotton wicks, which provide a consistent, stable, heavy metal and zinc free flame.

We never use fragrances that contain phthalates. If you’ve found yourself bothered by candles previously, you hopefully will find ours less irritating.

All of our products are hand poured and made with care right in the Pacific Northwest.

Soy wax tends to have a more ‘rustic’ look. You may notice an uneven texture after your melt pool has cooled; this is normal and part of its charm. Don’t be concerned by slight differences in the color, ‘wet’ spots, or areas where the wax has not adhered to the glass 100%. This is completely natural and will not affect your candle’s performance.
