Why Soy?

Soy Candles

In 2000 we started making paraffin candles and handmade soaps. Soon we began testing every soy wax on the market and have found that not all soy waxes are created equally. Soy Candles

During this process we purchased and tested soy candles throughout the USA. After 3 years of testing we present the finest candles available today.

Renewable - Soy wax is made from soybean oil which is a natural resource.
American farmers - Soybeans are grown in the USA and not dependent on foreign oil which keeps dollars in our country. It benefits our economy and creates U.S. jobs.
Clean burning - Soy Candles are eco-friendly and non toxic (nearly soot free-95%) with a perfect burn pool. Soy candles burn 30 - 50 percent longer than paraffin wax because soy wax burns at a much cooler temperature!
Biodegradable - Soy wax candles are made from soybean oil, washes up with soap and water, easily removed from materials if spilled.
Cost Effective - A point which sometimes isn't included in many lists of the benefits of soy candles. You may be shocked by this point, but in many cases soy wax candles can be more cost effective than paraffin. Not only in quality, but in quantity too. Soy not only burns cleaner, but slower too. A soy candle can burn up to twice as long (sometimes even more!) than parafin, giving you twice the candle.

Our mission and passion - To constantly improve our products to provide the finest quality handmade and handcrafted products available. We hand craft and hand pour each candle one at a time.

Friendly Fumes is a Proud Member of the 'Handcrafted Soap Makers Guild'

The Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild was formed in 1998 by a small group of enterprising soapmakers. The first annual conference was held at the Woodspirits Farm in Ohio. Since that initial gathering the Soap Guild has grown in terms of both numbers of members and outreach into the community. The HSMG now has members in nearly every US state and territory, and many other countries.

The mission of the Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild is: To promote the handcrafted soap industry; to act as a center of communication among soapmakers; and to circulate information beneficial to soapmakers.
