Why We Pour Only Bayberry, Beeswax and Organic Rice Wax...
At Santa Barbara Coastal Candles, we offer clean-burning, healthy, luxurious, hand-poured alternatives to non-sustainable, inexpensive candles derived from a GMO, use of Hexane (soy wax) or petroleum product (paraffin).
We provide high-quality waxes from long-standing, family-owned, ethically sourced bee-keepers and other non-GMO, environmentally conscientious and sustainable producers.
Santa Barbara Coastal Candles continuously strives to protect people, animals, and the planet by hand-selecting and pouring the most honorably-sourced and safest ingredients.
A few words about soy wax; our extensive research and that of others has shown that a chemical process that uses HEXANE is used to convert soybeans, (whether organic soybeans or not) into a soy wax. This process makes it impossible for soy bean WAX to be labeled, "organic".
Soy WAX is not natural; soybean crops are being planted in the fertile land that was once the beautiful Savannah and Amazon Rainforest (which is being destroyed, along with all of its inhabitants for soybean production); BOTH plant and animal life are at risk.
In 2024: Coming soon, the TRUTH about USDA Certified Organic beeswax and honey! (Hint: most if not all, is NOT harvested in the US)!
