Soy candle connoisseurs find our candles to be the healthiest trend combining eco-chic design with environmentally responsible waxes. Our candles are made from clean burning soy wax and lead-free wicks. Soy wax is a natural renewable resource and is also biodegradable. Our aromatic candles use rich, unique fragrance and essential oil blends that are reminiscent of our Rendezvous destinations. WHY WE BELIEVE IN PARAFFIN-FREE PRODUCTS: Paraffin Candles are made from petroleum waste, and are proven to have cancer causing toxins. The state of California, under its Proposition 65, has identified at least seven major toxins in paraffin wax, including toluene, benzene, methyl ethyl ketone, and naphthalene. The Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) has determined that toluene and benzene are probable human carcinogens. Burning paraffin candles for long periods indoors produce toxin levels that are higher than the EPA's guidelines. In 2001, the American Lung Association issued warnings that candles are a common unrecognized cause of poor indoor air quality. The National Association of Home Builders has received increasing reports implicating candles as a major cause of Black Soot Deposition (BSD) that damages home interiors and contents, not to mention skin and lungs. These microscopic particles -- smaller than 2.5 microns -- are recognized by the EPA as responsible for aggravating respiratory illnesses, especially in children. When soot builds up in air, it deposits on surfaces due to one of four factors. The particle may randomly collide with a surface. Second, soot particles can be circulated by passing through home air-conditioning filters. Third, soot can gain enough mass to become subject to gravity. Homes with BSD often have carpets stained from soot deposition (Vigil, 1998). Finally, the particles are attracted to electrically charged surfaces such as freezers, vertical plastic blinds, television sets, and computers (Krause, 1999). OUR SOY CANDLES ARE ALL NATURAL, 100% CLEAN BURNING, & SOOT FREE!

ABOUT OUR PRODUCT:
