Caterpillars- Soy Candles After My Own Heart
When I found Caterpillars soy candles, I thought, “Hmm, I like soy candles, let’s take a look at what they have.” When I saw their scents, I was very intrigued… never before have I seen amaretto coffee scented soy, mulled apple cider scented soy, etc… Looking through the list of scents sent me drooling…
Soy wax is healthier for us and for the environment than paraffin wax candles. As you all know, paraffin candles are made from the sludge at the bottom of a barrel of oil, which goes through chemical processes to create the candle. When burned, they release toxins, which makes them a large cause of indoor air pollution. Soy candles don’t release these toxins, contain no toxic chemicals, burn cleaner and last longer than their paraffin alternatives.
Caterpillars Soy Candles are 100% FDA certified organic soybean wax, which is a big reason why I’m so interested in them. There are a lot of other soy candles out there, but are they 100% organic? I don’t know, but I doubt most are. With Caterpillars, you have the option of getting your candles dye-free.
I suggest choosing dye-free soy votives to keep your candles natural. Once you add colors, you add chemicals, which sort of defeats the purpose, if you ask me! If you want color, get colored candle holders (see a photo from my wedding above, colored holders are much better than colored candles!.
Anyone who knows me knows that I go through business ideas like undies, so Caterpillars wholesale soy candles section sounds interesting, as well… A soy candle home business? Might not be a good idea for me… I might end up keeping all the candles ;)
