It may sound strange to be using soy-based wax for candles, but it actually produces a better candle in a number of important ways. Soy wax burns cleaner, virtually soot free, so you don’t have an ugly blackened jar, or house, to deal with. Soy wax gives you more for you money, burning 20% longer than regular wax. Having a lower melting point, soy wax tends to burn down evenly in your jar, so you don’t end up throwing half of your wax build up against the sides away. Beanpod is the only company we know of with a patent pending on their process of putting the fragrance in the wax, and their scents are simply THE best! Soy wax is bio-degradable, earth friendly, and grown in the USA. We import them all the way from Iowa! Just try a Beanpod candle, and you won’t settle for any other brand, you’ll be so pleased!
