Eco Friendly Candles
Soy candles reign supreme in the world of eco friendly candles. Soy is a renewable and sustainable resource, biodegradable, water soluble , clean burning and non-toxic. Soy wax candles last longer than their less eco-friendly counterparts, the paraffin wax candle, since they burn at lower temperatures.
