Soy wax is made from soybeans farmed in the U.S. This is an amazing wax. Without adding color or scent, it would be completely edible. It contains No paraffin, therefore No petroleum. Soy Wax is organic, non-toxic, clean burning, and has a long burn time. It is a biodegradable, renewable resource, and is environmentally friendly. Using soy wax-based products also helps the American Farm Economy! Enjoy......
