Why Choose Soy Candles?
New studies show that paraffin wax can produce an unhealthy environment. For example, it can blacken your containers, your walls and even your skin. This is caused by the carbons that are in the paraffin. With Candle Wishes you can breath easier knowing that you will have a cleaner, healthier burn.
There is even an added bonus with soy bean oil; you get a unique color separation when the candle burns that is absolutely beautiful. With all that in mind plus the triple scent, we are able to say there is no other candle like this. We are excited to be able to offer this product knowing that we are helping to create a healthier environment.
