Natural Soy Candles Set the Romantic Mood

Way Out Wax Candles

This Valentine\'s Day, light up the winter darkness -- and your sweetie\'s heart -- with the gift of gorgeous green candles. Take in the relaxing, romantic mood set up by flickering flames, and enjoy scents of soothing plant oils.

Conventional candles are made of petroleum-based paraffin wax, synthetic dyes and artificial fragrances, which are toxic to produce and result in indoor air pollutants. Cheaper wicks may contain traces of heavy metals, which can get released into the air during combustion.

Instead, give your loved ones something more natural, such as these charming candles from Vermont-based Way Out Wax. Available for a limited time, the handmade, 100% soy candles come in recycled glass, and are scented with your choice of pure essential oils, with no artificial ingredients.

Way Out Wax Votives

Not thinking pink? Way Out Wax offers votives in a range of colors, all year long. There\'s also a wide selection of essential oil scents, like lemongrass, orange, cedarwood, cinnamon, peppermint, rosemary, sage, unscented and more, as well as enticing blends like Escentual Love, made with lavender, patchouli and rosewood. Perfect for a romantic evening at home.

Way Out Wax\'s True Organics collection is made with certified organic essential oils.

Luscious Lavender

Lavender has long been prized for its reputed ability to calm and relax. With aromatherapy candles from Way Out Wax, you\'re getting the real deal: nothing but pure lavender essential oil. Most conventional drugstore candles include synthetic fragrances, and many don\'t contain any real essential oil.
