Soy Candles | Etsy Product Photography

I don't think a lot of people realize this, but there are actually candles out there that aren't very good for your health. Many candles contain toxins - be it in the wax itself, the chemical-based fragrance, and/or lead wicks.

Soy candles are clean-burning though and made of a renewable material - soy beans. They also last longer than paraffin candles. So I was excited to photograph these earth-friendly, health-friendly candles for a new Etsy shop called Illuminated Earth. Made with lead-free wicks, these candles are hand-made and come in neat up-cycled containers. And any of the scented ones are scented with essential oils.

If you're still looking for a holiday gift, the shop is currently offering expedited shipping and a sale. But they can make a nice gift (even to yourself) at any time of the year.

Here's a couple of the photos. You can see more by checking out Illuminated Earth soy candles on Etsy too.
