Welcome.
We
supply Handcrafted Soy Wax Candles.
Our oils are mixed
into the wax to ensure an even fragrance distribution throughout the
entire candle, not just sprayed around the outside of the candle or
packaging. Every single candle is fragranced using the maximum
amount of oil the wax will hold.

Your
health may be at risk if
you are burning paraffin based candles!!
When we were looking into making candles we
came across the
following statement:
"
The carcinogens produced by paraffin candles is equal to the damage
caused by second hand smoke from tobacco smokers. Does this mean you
should throw away your paraffin candles? We have.... and we
hope,
for your health's sake, you do to!!"
Not knowing how true this statement was we looked for an alternative natural wax - and came up with SOY!
