Item:  Soy Candle Travel Tin Sampler
Seller:  SarahBeeCreations

I often find myself shopping on Etsy.com for a present.  This would be such a great present for anyone!

These soy candles are selling on Etsy for $10.00 at the SarahBeeCreations shop.  When you buy this Etsy item, you get to try out four different scents of these soy candles.  My favorite part is that they come in 2 oz. travel tin, which would be great for a stocking stuff or a cute neighborhood gift.

These candles are all-natural and the seller (SarahBeeCreations) makes them from 100% pure, pesticide-free, non-toxic American-grown soy.

So, what’s the big deal about a soy candle?  Don’t you worry… I did my research.  Here’s what I found!

Soy candles are made from soy wax, which is hydrogenated soybean oil.  Michael Richards invented soy wax in 1992 because he was looking for a cheaper alternative to beeswax.  Turns out not only is soy wax a cost-effective alternative to paraffin wax, but it is also made from a renewable source.

Soy wax is often mixed with fragrances to produce scented candles.  As an Etsy buyer, you can choose from up to 4 of the following scents from this seller:

- Fresh Pineapple
- Mango-Papaya
- Cinnamon Bark
- Key Lime
- Kiwi Strawberry
- Strawberries and Cream
- Fresh Linen

Mmmmmm… fresh linen….

This Etsy seller says she only uses cotton wicks to greatly reduce the amount of carbon emissions for a cleaner burning environment and fresher scent.  Turns out that soy wax is reportedly a favorite of environmentally conscious people because it is not made from petroleum like other candles.  In addition, burning of soy candles does not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere – which is great for everyone!

I really like that this seller (SarahBeesCreations) uses ingredient that are vegetable-based and from renewable resources.  I didn’t realize what a benefit to the environment all-natural soy candles are!

Great shop if you are looking for an inexpensive gift or something for your home.  Awesome shop SarahBeeCreations!
