The majority of scented candles on the market are made of petroleum by-products, including paraffin wax and artificial scents. These have been proven to emit carcinogens and are harmful to both your health and home.

This is why Timothy Han candles are guaranteed 100% plant-based. The scents are derived from precious botanical essential oils that are carefully blended throughout the wax to ensure a long-lasting, natural and delicate scent. They do not contain any synthetic fragrances, perfumes, dyes, chemical enhancers or boosters and the wick is made from metal-free unbleached cotton.

Our wax is made from soy beans, a renewable natural resource that supports sustainable agriculture. It is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Soy wax candles burn cleaner and longer than paraffin. Soy wax candles are practically soot free and do not emit black soot deposit (BSD) characteristic of paraffin candles.

The soy wax we use is ethically sourced American grown soy free from GM material, pesticides and herbicides. This is important to us as the vast majority of soy and vegetable wax crops are harvested in a manner which contributes to deforestation in both Asia and South America.

Soy wax can also easily be washed out of fabric without leaving an oil residue as is common with paraffin waxes. In addition all of our glass tumblers can be washed out and either reused as drinking glasses or recycled.

Most candles advertised as natural or soy usually contain a blend of vegetable wax and as much as 70% paraffin wax and/or artificial scents.

If in doubt check the label.
