Holiday 2009 update - SojaCandles will be closed the last week of 2009 - orders will still be accepted, but will not be shipped until early January 2010
Our scented soy candles are great candles for aromatherapy, for filling a room with a mood, or just covering unpleasant odors (we'll just go ahead and say it - our scented candles are great for the bathroom). Our scented candles come in over 20 wonderful aromas that will enhance your home environment, and delight your guests.
"Those candles last FOREVER!! We used them all through the holiday and they were great. Made the whole house smell like the
holidays!" --Amy & Joe Z., Duluth MN
Intoxicating aromas like Apple/Lavender, Cucumber/Eucalyptus, and Orange/Pomegranate are unique to our candles but familiar to your nose. Our unscented candles are also popular with those who have sensitivities to scents and essential oils, they also go great with dinner as they only add ambiance and do not compete with the culinary olfactory delights. We strive to use the most environmentally-friendly raw materials for our candles - this means no metal in our wicks, and no petroleum in our waxes.
Because soy wax burns slower and cooler than paraffin candle wax the candle's aroma is distributed better, infusing your home with a wonderful aroma that everyone will notice and appreciate. Soy candles also burn up to 50% longer, so they are simply a better value even before you consider their many other benefits. Most importantly, Soy (& other plant-based waxes) is a carbon-neutral fuel source compared to fossil fuels which add to the planet's greenhouse gas levels.
Oil and water don't mix; that's why paraffin candle wax is so hard to clean up, especially out of your carpet. Soy wax is made from plant material, and we all know that plants love water. Soy wax cleans up with soap and hot water, making it easy to remove from your clothing and carpet - and if you have clumsy guests like we do - you'll know this is truly a blessing!
Choose from popular styles like pillar candles, container candles, and votive candles in unscented or a wide range of scents, such as Vanilla, Pineapple/Cilantro, Gingerbread, and more. Jar and container candles are available in a range of sizes and styles, our 'candle-cubes' even feature recycled glass. Pillar candles can be round or octagon shaped. Choose a candle from our candle shop, or ask for one to be custom made just for you! All of our candles are individually hand made, so it would be our pleasure to make one just for you.
Soja Candles is an environmentally conscious company committed to being Earth-friendly. Paraffin candles, believe it or not, are a contributor to global warming. The soot and chemicals that end up in your house and lungs, when added together with all the other candles all over the world, end up releasing tonnes of fossil fuel carbons into the atmosphere every year. Not to mention, paraffin is made from petroleum (which is where all those nasty chemicals come from). Paraffin candles have many of the same toxins as automobile exhaust because they come from the same source: oil.
