At Shirley Conlon Organics, we are committed to ‘Conscious Beauty’ and this is reflected in every aspect of the company. From ingredients, sourcing, labeling, production, and packaging to our environmental impact.

Our commitment to clean beauty is the reason why we choose to use 100% soy wax to make our candles. Soy wax offers cleaner burning and using cotton wicks, essential oils and natural fragrances, these candles also tend to give a therapeutic benefit to the user.

We use the finest ingredients in our products because quality, fair trade, and sustainability are important to us. Soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, this means that these candles burn slower than paraffin candles and they are free of petro-soot. Lastly, soy wax is biodegradable and made from a sustainable resource (soybeans!)

Here are some reasons why soy candles are better:

 – Soy burns longer: Although slightly more expensive, they burn for longer when compared to paraffin.

– Soy is sustainable: Soy is a renewable resource and is not refined like paraffin

– Soy is better for your health: Since it’s made from natural resources, it produces less soot than paraffin candles

– Soy doesn’t produce as much heat

In light of the information above, you may want to consider opting for soy wax candles. Try the Shirley Conlon Organics range of scented candles, they’re renewable, biodegradable, and nontoxic.
