Country Bear Soaps and Soy Wax Candles

Why Soy?
Soy is a 100% vegetable by-product, not a petroleum by-product. It is a renewable resource grown on American soil. Soy is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and supports our nation's economy and farmers. Soy produces 95% less smoke and soot than paraffin candles and burns 30 - 50% longer. Soy cleans up easily with warm water and soap. It is also easier on those suffering from asthma and allergies.

What are the Disadvantages of Paraffin?
Paraffin candles contain eleven known carcinogenic compounds and produce problematic soot emissions. Paraffin is made from petroleum and emits petro-soot which is as harmful as tobacco smoke and contains many of the same compounds given off from burning diesel fuel. Paraffin is not biodegradable. Thousands of homeowners across the country have reported substantial property damage to their home's interior due to candle soot deposits on walls, ceilings, carpets, toys and electronics. The American Lung Association warns against paraffin fumes.
