Oshkosh Northwestern - Eco Candle Co.'s wildly scented soy wax candles spread success

Oshkosh Northwestern - Eco Candle Co.'s wildly scented soy wax candles spread success: "Soy wax, as opposed to paraffin wax, a byproduct of oil production, contains no pollutants, toxins or carcinogens such as those that outline wall frames with that black soot or for people to inhale with soy wax candles and that they tend to last 30 to 50 percent longer than paraffin candles. "

Soy Candle History

"January 20, 2004 - There are three very strong market forces bringing the rising tide of consumer demand for soy wax:

1. the 'green segment' of the consumer market grows at a rapid 20% each year. There is no market segment growing faster in the U.S. and Europe.
2. Consumers now demand a clean burning candle.
3. Post 9/11, U.S. consumers increasingly prefer products produced from farms in the heartland over products from foreign petroleum sources.

These three historic forces converge to build a growing market wave for soy wax candles. "

SOYSAFTY

SOYSAFTY: "SOY CANDLE SAFTY:
Never leave a soy candle burning unattended.

Keep lit soy candles out of the reach of small children and pets.

Do not allow trimmed wicks, matches or other objects to remain in the candle.

Avoid putting soy candles in drafts to prevent rapid and uneven burning

Keep wicks trimmed to one 1/4 inch. Long or crooked wicks cause uneven burning.

Soy Candles will fade if left in the light for an extended period of time. Never put soy candles in a window or directly expose to bright outdoor light or indoor spotlights.

Soy Candles should always be burned in proper candle-holders or bases.

Do not move a glass container when the wax is liquid because it will burn your fingers."
