About soy

• Soy wax is made from soybeans and vegetables, both renewable resources.
• Soy wax burns much cleaner and purer as it is all natural, non-toxic, and non-hazardous.
• This wax is biodegradable leading to reduced landfills.
• Soy wax residue can be washed away with warm water and soap.
• Purchasing soy products supports the soy farmers of America, which stimulates our economy and lessens dependence on international resources.

Frosting on candles

Color variations in soy candles and melts are normal and referred to as frosting.  Frosting is when the soy wax forms tiny, white, frosted-looking crystals on the top of the wax and/or on the sides of the jar.  It looks very similar to the white frosted look that sometimes appears on chocolate.  Most people don't mind frosting and many even like the effect.  In fact, many customers have said they look for frosting as a sign that the candle is indeed made with soy and not paraffin.  Soy candle manufacturers often add paraffin wax (called a parasoy blend) to their candles to eliminate frosting.  We are committed to providing you with paraffin-free candles and therefore do not add paraffin to our wax.  We have experimented with our dyes, fragrance oils, and pour temperatures to keep frosting to a minimum, but some frosting is to be expected with all soy products.
