Soy wax is a clean burning wax that creates about 95% less soot than regular paraffin candles. It is non-toxic, which makes it safe to keep around children and pets.  Soy candles burn cooler, longer and more evenly, with a steadier flame than ordinary candles.  Soy wax is also water soluble so a little soap and water makes for very easy cleanup.  Soy is eco-friendly and grown on American soil, and therefore helps our farmers!
