Nutritionist Savanna is very excited to be scoping out some of our trusted NH Approved Resources in the Fox Valley! Her second stop is at Eco Candle Company on College Ave. In traditional candle making, paraffin wax is used by most companies. Paraffin is the leftover by-product of the petroleum refining process. Studies have shown that this petroleum by-product can release the same harmful carcinogens into the atmosphere as your car produces when gasoline is burned. YUCK!

Why are soy candles a better burn?
🕯Cleaner burning. No toxins, carcinogens or pollutants which means our candles are less likely to trigger allergies. And no petro-carbon soot like you get from petroleum-based paraffin candles.
🕯Longer lasting. Soy wax burns cooler which means that you can enjoy your soy wax candle for generally 30-50% longer than a paraffin candle.
🕯Supports our American farmers instead of foreign oil conglomerates. (Supporting local is always a big plus!)
🕯Biodegradable and water-soluble. Since their candles are made out of soybeans, they are naturally biodegradable which makes accidental spills easier to clean with just hot water, soap, and some elbow grease.
🕯Stimulate the economy by utilizing a natural, renewable resource.
🕯The soy wax is certified kosher, contains no herbicides, pesticides or genetically modified materials.
🕯They only use high-quality fragrance and essential oil blends and eco-friendly dyes.
🕯No lead or zinc cored wicks. All wicks are made of either cotton, paper or hemp.

Candles are their specialty but they do have a variety of other earth-friendly products. Their fire starters are great for chilly Fall days or to pack with your camping gear. The body lotion is a personal favorite, made with the same integrity as their candles. Clean and superior ingredients!

You can check out their website, but we highly recommend going in person to get the full experience and beautiful sights and scents as you shop at this local small business. We give Eco Candle Company our #NHapproved stamp in this community!
