F.A.Q.

SOY CANDLES

Soy is a natural, clean burning, renewable resource and all our wicks are lead-free. Our slow burning candles create warm pools of wax which releases the fragrance into the air.

Q. Where are the Scented Candles made?

A. All candles are made using EcoSoya wax from the US.

Q. What are the Scented Candles made from?

A. EcoSoya® soy waxes are created with pure, natural soybean oil.  EcoSoya® waxes are composed of non-petroleum renewable resources, promoting the growth and care of our environment while burning crisp and clean with a gentle natural glow. Enjoy the coziness of biodegradable EcoSoya® while doing something good for yourself and the environment.

Q. Why are Dickens & Hawthorne Scented Candles so special?

A. EcoSoya® processing starts with domestically grown, U.S. soybeans from which the oil is separated. The oil is then purified and goes through a process called hydrogenation which raises the oils melt point, changing it from a liquid to a solid at room temperature. Depending on the wax, we incorporate the finest botanical oils available. Finally, all EcoSoya® waxes go through our Molecular Blueprinting™ to overcome natural variations in soy and the polymorphic characteristics of soy crystallization, resulting in a more stable, balanced soy wax.

Q. How can I be sure of the quality of my Scented Candle?

All our waxes are made from soybeans with exacting consistency from batch to batch. To ensure this consistency our wax undergoes an average of 75 laboratory tests.  Unlike other vegetable or soy waxes on the market, EcoSoya® soy waxes are 100% vegetable, guaranteed!  With our Molecular Blueprinting™ technology and attention to detail, it's no wonder people agree that EcoSoya® is the #1 soy wax for making candles.

Q. What are the benefits of using Soy Wax Scented Candles?

A. There are many benefits to using EcoSoya® as a candle wax instead of traditional waxes, such as beeswax, paraffin wax and palm wax. Our wax is:

  • Kosher Certified
  • All EcoSoya® soy wax is Kosher Certified, proving our commitment to providing safe and healthy products.
  • Does Not Stain
  • EcoSoya® soy wax does not stain, so you don’t have to worry about ruining clothing, furniture or other items.
  • Burns Cooler
  • Avoid wax burns knowing that EcoSoya® soy wax burns at a cooler temperature.
  • Safe for Children
  • EcoSoya® soy wax is non-toxic and burns at a cooler temperature for worry-free use around children.
  • Great for "Scenterior" Decorating
  • The consistency of EcoSoya® soy wax allows for candles with a stronger scent and a purer scent throw. This creates great candles with the desired scent for any environment.
  • Environmental
  • Many people are searching for green products to replace more traditional ones that are unfriendly towards the environment. By using soy wax candles you are choosing to support the environment. Feel great while still enjoying the ambiance you are accustomed to.
  • Renewable
  • Soy is a resource that can be replaced at a rate comparable or faster to the rate of consumption.
  • Sustainable
  • Soy is continually producible without damaging the ecosystem.
