Little Soy Candles is a hand made business in the U.S., supporting other local businesses and suppliers. By purchasing soy wax, you are supporting the American crop of soybeans and their farmers. There are many wonderful qualities of soy wax used for candles. Soy is cleaner in comparison to traditional paraffin wax, releasing less toxins and pollutants into the air. It has increased burn time and leaves little to no residue as it burns in it's jar. We use plain cotton braided wicks that are also clean burning, releasing less soot than that of a zinc-cored wick. Our fragrances are pure, derived from quality oils that can be used in soaps, warmers, and of course, candles. They offer a greater scent throw, creating a stronger smelling candle.
