Sawyer candles are poured by hand, triple scented and composed of 98% soy wax and 2% natural soy additives. Our candles are non-toxic clean burning. Soybeans used for soy wax are a renewable source, unlike paraffin, which consists of petroleum. Since they are vegetables, soy candles are naturally biodegradable. Being an Indiana gal myself, I can appreciate that using soybean products helps create important economic growth for the agricultural sector of the US economy. Soy candles are simply better for you and your environment. My fragrance recipes have evolved with my own candle tastes over the years. Some scents may resemble certain high-quality candles on the market, but Sawyer recipes are completely original. Please contact me with any additional questions you have regarding your luxury Sawyer candle! Feedback is always welcome.
