Why Toasty Candles and why we think we’re so special
We LOVE candles PERIOD! I would like you to know that we (my female family members and I) have been “candle connoisseurs” for over 25 years! I have used every type of candle out there in search for the perfect scent,burn, and cost. I have been frequently disappointed with my consumer choices.
We really thought about the products we use, the fragrances, and container choices. We searched for only the BEST! A lot of love went into making these not only extremely fragrant, but not annoying to family and friends that might typically have allergies, or lung irritation from cheap candles. Of course there are many other people selling Soy candles but use fragrances that aren’t as compatible with Soy as others, and boring glass containers, as they are trying to keep the candle making costs down (naturally). They boast they have the best scents but candle makers know that not every scent does well in Soy because of the components of the fragrance. It makes a difference when your making candles out of love instead of making money. We’re confident you will really appreciate all of this when you purchase our candles.
Why Soy based candles?
Soy wax is really made from vegetable fat of the Soybean plant and some organic oils. The natural soy burns clean with none of that nasty black soot that comes from burning other types of waxes. We know that soy does not have the same chemical components that other waxes do so they are friendly to the air you breath and the atmosphere. That was really important to us when finding a candle that we all could live with. So Soy burns clean and when fragrance is added it really makes a difference. Soy candles also burn 3 times longer than regular wax, so they are cheaper too! And another added benefit of Soy is the minimal allergies and other reactions that you can have with other candles (especially if they are made cheap). I have a house full of “nasally sensitive” family members that react to candles and some of the cheap perfumes they are made with. I got really sick of hearing “ugh, can you put that thing out?”.
