I researched the candle industry for over a year before I started my own company. I set out to educate myself on the process of making candles. I learned that many of the chemicals used to manufacture candles are not organic. I had recently seen a news report about how most candles and incense are extremely toxic. My goal as a mother, a pet owner and a candle lover was to create a candle of the highest quality possible. I wanted candles that were 100% organic, non-toxic, and eco-friendly. I wanted candles that were so pure they could even be used as a body cream. I spent months researching and developing a product that I would be proud to put my name on. The result is Scents Of Purpose Candles.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT’S IN THE CANDLE YOU’RE BURNING?
THE INFORMATION CANDLE COMPANIES DO NOT WANT TO DISCLOSE….

Do you know that candle companies that claim “made with 100% organic soy” are misleading the consumer? Yes, they are made with 100% organic soy but only about 10% is actually soy. The other 90% is a container blend mix that contains paraffin, which is TOXIC.

The oil industry sells the bottom 5% of the barrel to the candle industry. We are burning petroleum based wax that even oil refineries turn down! Here is a list of some of the chemicals that standard candle wax usually contains:

• Acetone: Active ingredient in paint thinner and nail polish.
• Benzene: Found in motor vehicle and industrial emissions .
• Butanone: used in paints and plastic manufacturing.
• Carbon disulfide : LIFE THREATENING , affects nervous system.
• Carbon Monoxide: can lead to significant toxicity of central nervous system.
• Carbon tetrachloride : used in fire extinguishers
• Chlorobenzene: used in PESTICIDES
• Cyclopentene : used in synthesis of plastics
• Ethylbenzene : used in making polystyrene
• Lead: poisonous metal that can lead to brain and blood disorders
• Phenol:used in the production of herbicides
• Soot: can cause illness if inhaled
• Styrene: used in plastic, rubber, and insulation.
• Tetrachloroethylene: the solvent used in dry cleaning
• Toluene : used as a booster in gasoline .
• Trichlorofluoromethane: One of the HIGHEST ozone depletion potential of any refrigerant
• Xylene: used as a solvent.

Which candle would you rather burn?

I put my name and reputation behind every candle I make. I could add things to my candles to make the soy adhere to glass better, make them burn faster, retain color longer and throw scent further. I won’t do that. My candles burn twice as long as most soy candles on the market because I DON”T add those fillers.
