See our sustainability promise!
Why soy?
Most store-bought candles are made with paraffin wax. But not ours! Paraffin wax is a byproduct of Petroleum, which has been found to be a harmful carcinogen. Burning candles made with paraffin also result in the soot stains you may find on the walls of your home and the rims of your candles.
Who wants that kind of filth around!?
Soy is a cleaner option.
When choosing a soy candle as an alternative to other waxes available, you can expect a cleaner burn in addition to a 50% longer burn time! Soy wax is a softer wax, allowing a slower burn. It also offers a quick and easy cleanup in the event that a pet or child knocks the candle over.
Soy wax comes straight from the soybean itself, therefore making these candles a plant-based product that is biodegradable and safe for the environment. #motherearththanksyou
Pure Essential oils vs. Fragrance Oils
The candles are crafted with oils that are made from a blend of essential oils and fragrance oils, rather than using pure essential oils.
Here's why: essential oils are extremely high in price compared to fragrance oil/essential oil blends. Some EOs are as much as 6 and 7 times higher in price, compared to fragrance oils.
Additionally, the process by which essential oils are sourced and made is not environmentally sustainable. In order to produce one pound of essential oil, an enormous amount of the plant is required. For example, to yield one pound of essential oil, you'd need 10,000 lbs of rose petals, 250 lbs of lavender, and 1,500 lemons!
It's important that we create a candle that isn't harmful to people, animals, or the planet. Rest assured that the oils used in Soy Much Brighter candles are non-toxic, phthalate-free, and safe to burn in your home and around your family, including pets!
