SOY CANDLES
Soy candles are made from soybeans produced from US grown soybeans, a natural, renewable source grown in many regions by local farmers within the USA. This all-natural wax creates candles with a smooth, opaque finish and contains soy-based additives that help reduce strengthen the fragrance throw. Using candles made from soy supports local agriculture and farmers, allowing them to make money and grow their operations.

SLOWER BURN
A candle made from soy wax burns cleaner with little soot released as the candle burns.  Soy candles are also non-toxic and safe for pets so they won't release toxins into the air as they burn.

LONGER LASTING
Soy candles typically last longer. The reason behind the longevity of soy candles is the slower burning time and cooler burning temperature of the soybean-based wax. You may pay more for a soy candle initially, but the longer-lasting burn means you won't have to buy new candles as often. Soy wax is also biodegradable, making it an investment that benefits the environment.

BETTER SCENT. BETTER INGREDIENTS.
A soy candle works well for holding onto the scent from essential oils, which are often used to scent candles. Because they burn more slowly, the scent is gradually released; there won't be an immediate wave of strong scent. This creates a more pleasant atmosphere for most people. 

WHY TIN CANS?
We believe a tin can has basic built right into it! It doesn't become dark around the edges like a glass candle does. It's multifunctional for another life to live, such as a great container for pens and pencils, a seperate place for extra coins, and even with the lid,
a great place for spices once cleaned. Plus it's fully recyclable and also won't break
or shatter.
