The Policy of Handcrafting Remains Unchanged, Even as Production Grows



The base materials for Living Light candles are soy wax, plant-derived wax, and beeswax, all entirely natural. These are used either singly or in combination.

The soybeans used are 100% natural, pesticide- and herbicide-free, grown using sustainable farming methods in America. For the wicks, a blend of cotton and cotton paper is used, selected from hundreds of options for a clean and beautiful burn. After use, the candles are organically biodegradable and return to nature.

Living Light's Raw Materials Are All Free from Animal Testing



Living Light's policy is to use the most ecological raw materials of the highest quality, adhere to traditional handcrafted methods, conduct sustainable and dynamic business, and provide wonderful experiences that touch the heart.

One reason for their popularity is the sophisticated, pure fragrances, created by blending generous amounts of essential oils with high-quality natural fragrances.

The primary advantage and characteristic of soy candles is their long burn time and lack of soot. The slow, clean burn allows the released fragrance to retain the true essence of the essential oils and natural scents, which is another significant appeal.
