All of our candles are handmade, hand poured and freshly crafted in small batches with the best quality soy and phthalate free ingredients. We use soy wax because it is renewable, biodegradable (unlike petroleum-based paraffin) and helps create economic growth. Soy wax also burns cleaner without getting nasty carbon soot on walls and ceilings and has no toxins thrown into the air we breathe.
