About Soy Candles & Salves

Why Soy Candles?

Soy candles are crafted using soy wax, an eco-friendly and sustainable substance obtained from soybeans, a natural and renewable resource. The soy used in our candles is responsibly sourced from U.S. farmers, contributing to the support and well-being of our local communities.


Soy Wax: The primary ingredient in soy candles is soy wax, which is made from hydrogenated soybean oil. This wax is biodegradable and comes from a renewable resource, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to paraffin wax.


Clean Burning: Soy candles generally burn more cleanly than paraffin candles. They produce minimal soot and do not release harmful toxins into the air, contributing to better indoor air quality.


Slow Burning: Soy candles tend to burn at a slower rate than paraffin candles, providing a longer-lasting and more economical lighting option.


Even Burning: Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, resulting in a more even and consistent burn. This helps to avoid the common issue of tunneling, where the center of the candle burns down while leaving the outer wax untouched.


Scent Retention: Soy wax has the ability to hold and release fragrances effectively. This means that soy candles can be infused with a variety of scents, providing a pleasant and long-lasting aroma.


Biodegradable and Renewable: Since soy wax is made from soybeans, it is biodegradable and breaks down naturally. Additionally, soybeans are a renewable resource, making soy candles a sustainable choice.


It is normal for your soy candles to have a bumping surface.

 

 

Salves

Our salves are made by infusing organic herbs from my garden in Sweet Almond Oil for 2 months. We combine the infused oil with shea butter and beeswax to make a nourishing salve. Herbal salves have been used for centuries for various purposes due to the potential therapeutic properties of the herbs and other natural ingredients.

Salves are for external use and should never be taken internally. You should never apply salves to an open wound. 

Our salves can be used for many skin irritations such as:

  • Rashes
  • Skin damage (minor burns, scratches, cuts, eczema, ect.)
  • Lip balm
  • Chapped or flaky skin
  • Bug bites
