Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Crazy About Candles, sustainability isn't a marketing claim — it's baked into every decision we make. From the wax we choose to the hands that pour it, we hold ourselves to a higher standard.
100% Natural Soy Wax
Plant-based, renewable, and biodegradable. No petroleum. No compromise.
Clean Burn
Free from paraffin, phthalates, and synthetic additives. Minimal soot. Pure ambiance.
Handmade in the USA
Every candle is hand-poured in small batches on American soil, with American craft.
Small-Batch Quality
Intentionally limited runs mean tighter quality control and less waste at every step.
The Wax We Choose
Soy Wax, Not Paraffin
Paraffin is a petroleum byproduct. When burned, it can release benzene and toluene — the same compounds found in diesel exhaust. We made a different choice from day one.
Our 100% natural soy wax is derived from soybeans — a renewable, American-grown crop. It burns cooler and slower, releasing no toxic byproducts, and it's fully biodegradable.
The Difference Is Clear
Soy Wax vs. Paraffin
| Attribute | Our Soy Wax | Paraffin (Mass Market) |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Renewable soybeans | Petroleum byproduct |
| Burn quality | Clean, minimal soot | Higher soot output |
| Toxins | None | May release benzene & toluene |
| Biodegradable | Yes | No |
| Burn time | Longer, cooler burn | Burns hotter, faster |
| Made in USA | Yes — small batch | Typically mass-manufactured |
Our Process
Small-Batch, Handmade in the USA
We intentionally keep our production small. Each candle is hand-poured — not machine-filled — which means every piece receives genuine attention and care.
Small-batch production also means we produce only what's needed. Less overproduction. Less waste. More intention behind every pour.
We believe in full transparency. We're always working to improve our sourcing, packaging, and processes. Have a question about our materials or practices?
