Wick'd Bean
Candles are popular for many reasons: Candlelight reduces stress, the sense of smell is connected to memory and emotional receptors and they make great gifts.
However, did you know that most candles are made of paraffin wax (a petroleum waste product that is chemically bleached ) which creates highly toxic fumes when burned? Yikes!
Wick’d Bean Candles are made from natural soybeans and complemented with the purest of botanical oils containing no pesticides.
In 2003 we started wick'd bean candles after learning about the awesome environmental benefits to be made by burning a petroleum-free candle.
Starting out in our kitchen we made small batches of our soy wax candles and sold them at local farmer's markets and festivals introducing customers to just one more way to help preserve our planet.
Today our family continues to hand-pour all our candles in California and we are excited to offer a clean and healthy candle-burning alternative.
An added little fun fact…customers tell us that because of the silky feel of the soybean oil they regularly use the melted natural wax as a moisturizer on their hands, elbows, and feet!
Their natural candles are not only vegan and chemical-free, but they traditionally burn longer! Natural waxes have a lower melting point so they last longer. More bang for your buck!
