Soy

Burn Soy Candles...choose natural soy candles over petroleum-based paraffin.  BECAUSE: Paraffin emits 11 toxins; soy doesn't.

HOWEVER: Please be careful anytime you burn candles; BECAUSE:

• 38 percent of home candle fires start in
bedrooms, and cause 35 percent of
associated deaths.***

• More than half of all candle home fires
start because the candle was too close to
a combustible material.  Candle fires often
start when items like mattresses, bedding,
curtains, cabinetry, or furniture are
ignited.*** 

• Unsupervised children are involved in 20
percent of home candle fires.*** 

• The number of home fires the American
Red Cross has responded to has risen
10% since 2000.*

Loves and Hugs...Really...I do not like candles...and that's a fact!
