If you have questions or would like to place an order, please contact us at [email protected]. Sandy’s Candle Crafts was established when we were looking for a safer/healthier way to burn candles. We noticed when the candles we purchased from the store released the soot into the air it made us cough and our allergies acted up. After some research, we discovered it was because we were us
ing paraffin-based candles which contained several bi-products, and the residue leftover from oil refining which when burning releases harmful carcinogenic chemicals into the air. This brings us to today and how we started using Soy Wax. Now we want to educate everyone else and hopefully help save someone else from a similar situation. Soy wax has many environmental and health benefits, and we love working with it. Here are some of our top reasons for choosing soy wax candles:
• Soy wax is a vegetable wax made from the oil of soybeans. Our wax comes from crops grown in the USA and is an entirely natural product that's safe for your skin and respiratory system.
• Soy is a renewable source, unlike paraffin wax which relies on our dwindling supply of crude oil.
• Soy wax is a carbon-neutral product, meaning you can enjoy your candle knowing it hasn't had a negative impact on the environment.
• Soy wax burns on average 40-50% slower than paraffin wax, resulting in long-lasting candles and giving you better value for money.
• Soy washes away with warm soapy water making it easy to repurpose your vessel once the candle has burned down. No more soaking with boiling water and chipping away at residual wax.
• Soy wax is clean burning and doesn't release toxins, carcinogens, or pollutants which means it's less likely to trigger allergies.
• Soy wax won't release petrol-carbon soot as you get from paraffin candles meaning no oily black marks on your walls! Keeping the wick trimmed short will also ensure that the candle doesn't smoke and that it burns efficiently.
• Our fragrance oils are also all skin safe and our wicks are made from woven cotton.
