BENEFITS OF SOY WAX:



There are many waxes available to create candles for enjoyment. At Linnea’s Lights, they choose to hand create candles using natural soy wax for several reasons. Their soy wax is 100% natural and free of any genetically modified materials, herbicides or pesticides. Their wax is biodegradable and all natural which means it’s safe and clean for the environment. Soy wax has a lower melting point which allows it to burn slower and cooler. Soy beans are grown in the USA and support US agriculture.


History:

Linnea’s Lights® has been cultivated from a deep family lineage, upon a foundation of ecologically friendly, handcrafted, entrepreneurial spirit. Founders Lynn Manley and her daughter Laura Cler remain firmly rooted in the spirit of their Midwestern upbringing. Lynn & Laura’s intrinsic appreciation of quality, integrity and social consciousness, as well as their passion for fragrances & luxury items inspired them to create the line of candles.

What began as a candle-making hobby soon developed into a small, freestanding company. With the additional help of close family and friends, the dynamic team launched Linnea’s Lights® into the luxury brand that it is today. In tribute to Lynn & Laura’s Swedish family lineage, the name Linnea’s Lights® comes from the Swedish word Linnea, from which Lynn’s name originated. Linnea, which also refers to the national flower of Sweden, has been in their family for five generations.

Essential to the spirit of Linnea’s Lights®, Lynn and Laura’s resourceful outlook towards nature remains an integral & important part of their business, and Linnea’s Lights® will forever be an environmentally mindful company. Linnea’s Lights® candles combine natural soy wax, lead-free cotton candlewicks, pure essences and fine fragrances to create clean burning, perfectly scented and highly aromatic candles. Each candle is triple scented so the subtle fragrance keeps throughout the entire burn. All of Linnea’s Lights® natural soy candles are meticulously hand-poured in small batches and tested for quality assurance. Every step of the process involves the use of human hands, and each candle is packaged and designed locally in Indiana with recycled or recyclable materials.
