Welcome to The Candle Bug . My name is Andria. I am the owner of The Candle Bug Shop. Married to my Best Friend Dustin & Wahm to my Artistic Micheala & Little Monster Hunter.

My goal is to convert & raise awareness of the hazards involved with burning a petroleum (paraffin) based scented candles in your home.  The good news is that you don't have to quit burning scented candles altogether! There is a safe alternative... soy wax candles or soy candles.

Did you know....there are up to 11 carcinogen compound (cancer causing agents) found in paraffin candles?  All 11 of these compounds have been considered "toxic air agents" by the State of California?  There is supporting documentation that paraffin candle soot contains some of the compounds given off by burning diesel fuel?  Are you concerned yet?

Many want to alleviate our dependencies on foreign oil. Although the scented candle industry has a small impact on our foreign oil dependency, most paraffin wax is manufactured from petroleum from foreign countries.  Each year the "National Candle Association" estimates $2 billion in sales of scented candles and candle accessories. Although this number means little to the amount of actual barrels of crude oil needed to produce this amount of wax, it does tell us (with the majority of candles sold still being paraffin petrol based), that an enormous amount of paraffin wax is consumed in the United States.

By burning soy wax candles (soy candles), it makes a statement! It states that your scented candles or soy candles are truly American, from the farmer planting the soy bean, to the refinery extracting the oil, to the soy wax candle maker putting it all together for you. Soy candles are truly American made.

Soy wax is a new alternative to paraffin wax, made from soybeans, is renewable and cost effective. The soybean is one of the most versatile products used today. It has been a high protein source for millions of people for thousands of years. Soybean wax also seems to be the most promising natural wax available.

Ever have that black smoke stuck to the back of your wall after burning a candle other than soy? Soy candles last three times longer than petroleum-based candles, have an incredible scent throw with virtually no black soot.

The Candle Bug's soy candles are eco-friendly, hand-crafted and biodegradable.  Custom crafted with top-grade fragrance oils, we guarantee our soy candles to be the safest, most fragrant eco-candle you'll find!
