Is that candle really soy?

Did you know that in the United States, a candle only needs to contain 51% soy wax to be labeled as pure soy!? Not all candles are created equal! Alameda Candle Co. creates clean burning candles made from 100% soy wax and other trusted materials. Other waxes can certainly be safe, but we suggest purchasing from small businesses that have transparency around their ingredients to ensure you know what you’re releasing into your air.

Wicks

We use cotton wicks, which is a good thing since lead cored wicks have been banned in the U.S. since 2003! Cotton wicks are standard in candle making, but we might venture into the world of wood wicks one of these days.

Fragrance

All of our essential oils have been tested by candle supply manufacturers for safe use in candles. The same goes for all of our fragrance oils, which are certified to be clear of all the chemicals listed in CA’s Prop 65.
